I am a primary care general internist, medical educator, and relationship-centered health care consultant. Early on, I learned that work-family balance is fundamental to a successful medical career and began my ongoing study of physician career satisfaction, role conflict, burnout, well-being and part-time career options. Most recently I led a collaborative effort to integrate trainees from 6 health care professions into an existing complex care clinic for homeless Veterans. Our initiatives in humanism, teamwork and resilience created a work environment that led to favorable outcomes in patient care and trainee team performance, burnout, mindfulness, satisfaction and career selection.
