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.

Texas Medicine 

Primary care is in simmering trouble. Payments are down; the ranks of Texas’ uninsured and underinsured continue to rise; social disparities and chronic disease persist. And that was before the COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated existing problems while threatening practice viability. The Texas Medical Association and other corners of organized medicine are engaging policymakers to not only help the state’s primary care system survive the pandemic, but also enable it to thrive for the long haul. Plus ... What if Texas lawmakers created a mental health service that physicians asked for but then not many physicians used it? So far, that is what’s happening with the Child Psychiatric Access Network (CPAN), which gives pediatricians and family physicians across Texas free telemedicine-based consultation and training on community psychiatry.
