Joedrecka S. Brown Speights, M.D., professor and chair of the FSU College of Medicine’s Department of Family Medicine and Rural Health, wrote an article on physician mental health that was published in the latest edition of Florida Family Physician, the official publication of the Florida Academy of Family Physicians (FAAFP).
“Practicing medicine is wrought with complexities and challenges that detract physician well-being,” Speights wrote in the article titled ‘Physician Burnout – Organizational Solutions for Well-Being.’
She outlines individual-level and organizational or systems-level intervention strategies to combat burnout, accompanied by the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) Well-Being Report recommendations.
