Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been an increased use of the terms “healthcare provider burnout” and “healthcare heroes”. Within the media, we have seen these terms be trending hashtags, top news headlines, or may have heard them stated by government officials in their press releases...but what do they really mean? In this episode from Raw Talk you will hear from our guests - Dr. Kim McMillan a nurse-researcher and assistant professor at the University of Ottawa; Dr. Amit Arya a palliative care physician at North York General and Kensington Hospice; medical residents Dr. Simone Bernstein from Washington University and Dr. Yezarni Wynn from the University of Toronto; and a nurse and PhD candidate Emily Rowland from the University of Toronto - burnout affects each person differently and has a rippling effect for both the individual and the health system as a whole. Further, our guests share their perspectives of what a “healthcare hero” means to them; perspectives that may be different from how they were portrayed in the media. Finally, we conclude our episode with ideas to decrease provider burnout and advice for our medical learner listeners. Happy listening!
