These are a few of the questions I am often asked by junior physicians, or even peer physicians. I thought I’d share with you some the top 10 pearls I share with others, as we focus on many of these in the Brave Enough Master Class. #tweetorial #medicalstudents #medicalschool

1. Give your family your best. Give your work the rest. - @dalepartrigde #tweetorial #medicine #mentor #physicianwomen #womeninmedicine #medicalschool #residents #medicalstudents #healthcare #blog #blogger

2. Take a vacation every 3 months. Especially in the first few years. Trust me. Time away = burnout prevention. #tweetorial #medicine #mentor #physicianwomen #womeninmedicine #medicalschool #residents #medicalstudents #author #braveenough #gritandgrace #burnoutsyndrome #selfcare

3. Watch out for financial incentive traps. Extra call, selling your vacation weeks, working extra shifts may be very appealing in the beginning; but you cannot put a price tag on protecting your wellbeing and remaining joyful in medicine.#tweetorial #medicine #mentor #physician

4. Say ‘yes’ to things early in your career, which will earn you the right to say ‘no thank you’ later. #tweetorial

5. Say ‘yes’ to things that fall within your primary focus; the enemy of productivity is distraction. #tweetorial #medicine #mentor #physicianwomen #womeninmedicine #medicalschool #residents #medicalstudents #healthcare #advice #conference #retreat #braveenough

6. Make your clinical work count twice; quality, safety, research and education projects are much easier accomplished if in line with your clinical work. #tweetorial #medicine #mentor #physicianwomen #womeninmedicine #medicalschool #residents #healthcare #ClinicalResearch

7. When you fail, ask for feedback from people smarter than you; this allows you to fail forward. #tweetorial #medicine #mentor #physicianwomen #womeninmedicine #medicalschool #residents #medicalstudents #healthcare #advice #conference #retreat #braveenough #failfoward #feedback

8. Connect with colleagues; they will be your lifelines when hard times come. We are in the business of humanity; hard times exist.#tweetorial #medicine #mentor #physicianwomen #womeninmedicine #medicalschool #residents #medicalstudents #healthcare #advice #conference #retreat

9. Early in your career, say yes to things that will 1) put you on a stage 2) put your name in print 3) put you on national committees. Say no to things that require time but do not result in any of these things. #tweetorial #medicine #advice #residents #students #healthcare

10. Routinely connect with your direct report. Do not assume she/he knows what you are working on or what you hope to achieve. Face to face time is invaluable. #tweetorial #medicine #advice #residents #medicalstudents #healthcare #braveenough #conference #retreat #morethanone
