Burnout is frequently reported as substantially impacting medical practices, but it is usually described with a focus on frontline clinicians despite burnout being shown to affect practice leaders at higher rates than for clinicians. Unfortunately, little research or practical advice is targeted to help people in leadership roles, who are then instructed to do oversimplified techniques that bring little to no relief. Dr. Comer has felt the turmoil of burnout himself during his 20-year CEO career. As a frequent MGMA collaborator, he speaks on the stress of leadership roles by blending empirical research with his personal experiences. Join part one of this two-hour session to define why burnout is such a problem for leaders.
