Physician Wellness and Resilience: Narrative Prompts to Address Burnout explores 26 compelling narratives from practicing doctors and medical students as they share their personal and professional encounters in their own words.

This volume seeks to expand the conversations around burnout and mental health in the medical profession and advocates for a deeper appreciation of physicians as human beings, complete with a range of emotions and fallibilities. The diverse range of professionals span various medical specialties and career stages and cover a range of experiences, including dealing with sexism, committing medical errors, handling challenging colleagues, and the fear and commitment involved in treating patients with Covid-19. Chapters include discussion prompts to encourage creative problem-solving amongst readers and nurture a caring and supportive work environment for physicians seeking assistance.

Designed for use in medical school seminars and physician wellness seminars, this book is essential reading for physicians, junior doctors, medical students, and mental health professionals who work with these populations.
