Well, attending courses and conferences is a great way to stay ahead in the game. And guess what? Technology is here to lend a helping hand! Take advantage of cool tools like telemedicine and AI to enhance your practice. But that's not all - networking is key! By joining professional associations, you can expand your connections and tap into a wealth of resources. Plus, it's a fantastic opportunity to exchange ideas with like-minded professionals.

Stay ahead, stay informed, and always keep your patients' well-being front and center. You've got this!

1 powerful piece of advice after a decade of experience in the healthcare industry: Change your environment often. Here are 7 ways to implement it: 1. Attend healthcare conferences or webinars → shift your perspective 2. Participate in medical missions abroad → broaden your understanding 3. Explore new medical specialties or research areas → expand your expertise 4. Network with healthcare professionals regularly → find your professional community 5. Prioritize self-care through exercise and mindfulness activities → nurture your well-being 6. Limit exposure to negative healthcare news or social media → maintain mental clarity 7. Engage in healthcare advocacy or mentorship programs → contribute to positive change 8. Small adjustments can lead to significant advancements in your career and personal growth. By changing environment and stepping out of your comfort zone, you open doors to transformative experiences and opportunities in the healthcare field. PS: How did you spend your weekend guys?

Who participates in public and #patientengagement processes, and in what capacity they participate, matters. The strategies employed to recruit participants shape the outcomes and legitimacy of engagement processes. Joanna Massie and Katherine Boothe explore these issues through a case study of workshop recruitment. The first step to improved engagement, whether for a researcher or for a practitioner, is understanding what the potential pitfalls are; addressing them requires reflexivity, honesty and a commitment to balance trade-offs and adapt to participants' needs.

Here's what I'm sharing in my Physicians In Transition Newsletter tomorrow... Is your self-talk keeping you stuck at the clinical career crossroads? I offer some reframes to help you move forward. Two examples: 1. The power of "yet." "I don't know what I want to do!" "I don't know what I want to do yet." 2. The plague of "what if?" "What if changing jobs is a mistake?" "What if changing jobs is the best next move?" My newsletter will arrive in inboxes tomorrow morning. Sign up at the link in my profile if you want to get it!

Excerpt from the blog "Best in Class or Good Enough" by Kriss Barlow. For the full blog click the link below. "The challenge is that sometimes we settle for less than the best and rationalize efforts and outcomes that are good enough. For leaders, settling might be because of the pull in so many directions or because the effort to influence change- of data, people or impact- feels overwhelming. Sometimes, it is because physician relations is not your first love and team members let you believe they’ve got this! Field staff get comfortable with techniques that have served them well in the past, even though the audience and internal expectations have evolved. Top of this list today is a heavy emphasis on doctor-to-doctor visits as the primary connection. Couple that with a reliance on visits with office staff for complex care referrals rather than connections with the referring physician." Full Blog: https://lnkd.in/gNdRQhye

For my latest post over in the healthcare "bowl"/community on Indeed, I pose these thoughts, and I'd love to hear your take: "When thinking about your life and career, do you consider short-term, mid-term, and long-term goals? Sometimes we need to break down the vision of what we want to accomplish into more digestible chunks, so placing our goals in different categories can be helpful. Do you have short-term, mid-term, and long-term goals for your life and/or career that are part of your overall master plan?" https://lnkd.in/g6WpRnye

In a world where we’re constantly comparing ourselves to others, it’s so important to remember that no one else can do what you do the way you do it. As health professionals, there is something so liberating about recognising our unique contribution and knowing that our work matters💓 It doesn’t mean we think our way is the only way and that we can’t learn from others. 👉 I love observing and learning from other healthcare leaders at the top of their game, but at the end of the day, how I use what I learn IS unique to me and I know for sure that when I tap into that, it becomes a super power! This principle also enables a greater freedom to share my own work and experience, knowing that those that use what I share will make it their own and I will still have my unique contribution. From this place, I can work closely alongside other healthcare professionals in excellence, quieten the imposter syndrome voice and build lasting trustworthy relationships that I cherish🙏 ✍️ A powerful method I use to get in touch with my unique value is journaling, which is why I created my free resource Honour your Path Workbook to support the people I mentor and my wider community. When last did you do an inventory of what your unique qualities and contributions are?
