You Don’t Have to Be Tired All the Time
By David Doolittle

Fatigue story photoYou’re irritable. You’re clumsy. You can’t remember things you know you know. You can’t concentrate. Chances are you’re just plain tired — because you work hard in a high-stress environment and put in long hours every day.

But fatigue is not what you want to take into the exam room, or the surgical suite, or even home to your family. Being too tired to perform well directly affects your patients, your colleagues, and your quality of life. 

Turn to TMA’s course Addressing Fatigue in Physicians to learn how to modify your personal habits and your environment so you can manage fatigue. 

The course is available as a one-hour live presentation, online (pdf version), and a home study. It includes 1 AMA PRA Cat. 1 Credit™ and 1 ethics credit.

If you wish to order a home study, please contact the TMA Knowledge Center for prepayment at (800) 880-7955 or email knowledge[at]texmed[dot]org.

And here’s something to keep a smile on your face: TMA is offering 20 percent off all CME throughout January, so act soon.

The malaise in physician practice long known as burnout – a term doctors increasingly balk at – has been exacerbated by the pandemic, as an extensive survey by the Physicians Foundation recently showed. Although proposed solutions offer hope, doctors have toiled through everything from the day-to-day stress of overwork and the fear of contracting coronavirus themselves, to the lack of adequate PPE, and the politicization of the virus. It’s added up to members of the profession becoming exhausted, fearful, and sometimes despondent. Plus ... learn how some physicians are helping to take on an increasing social determinant of health: food insecurity.
