Today is my 10y anniversary @NorthwellHealth@ZuckerSoM@NorthwellPMR and 2 years as Vice-Chair
i thought i would share some thoughts on what has helped me get to a place of happiness in my career
I am so fortunate to have chosen #CancerRehab as my #physiatry subspecialty. My patients bring me joy and inspire me, allowing me to see every day as a gift not to be taken for granted.
My @CancerRehabDocs
colleagues have built an amazing national Cancer rehab med organization and it's been so great to see this group include anyone with a passion for cancer rehab from trainees to retirees and push our specialty forward
Personally, i've prevented burnout by finding meaning and spending time reading and in nature bc #HumanismIsMedicine. I don't do charts/ academic work on weekends.Not as productive academically as i could be, but this gives me time to self-care, spend with fam and prioritize me
And finally, need to give thanks to the ultimate #heforshe before the #,my Chair, Adam Stein @ZuckerSoM@AAPhysiatrists . For encouraging, celebrating, mentoring, sponsoring, promoting, pushing me out of my comfort zone and for making me your VC. I am learning from the v best.
