Margulis Society Outstanding Alumnus Lecture: 'Radiologist-Centered Imaging: How We can Save Ourselves and our Specialty in an Age of Epidemic Burnout'
Date
Professional burnout is a problem which threatens the health of radiologists and the stability of our specialty. Based upon his 20 years of experience as a career and life coach for physicians, Dr. Moskowitz will discuss the reasons for physician career dissatisfaction, the principle drivers and consequences of burnout, and what can be done to beat burnout. The solution, Radiologist-Centered Imaging, suggests the need for radiologists at all levels of training and practice to focus greater attention to both their own health and balance, but also expect and demand new commitments by departments, practices, faculty, and healthcare institutions to improve working environments and support the efforts of radiologists to modify the culture of medical imaging.
