Leadership Burnout in Healthcare: A Conversation with Dr. Jyoti Randhawa
In this episode, Dr. Jyoti Randhawa, Medical Director at Miracare Center in Tinley Park, IL, shares her insights on leadership burnout in healthcare.
Causes of Leadership Burnout
Dr. Jyoti Randhawa, an experienced Chief Medical Officer and psychiatrist, notes that leadership burnout is often caused by a continuation of work without pause or break. This leads to exhaustion and depletion of one's self-reserve. To reduce the risk of burnout, Dr. Alwa believes that addressing corporate issues and fear among staff is necessary.
Addressing the Shortage of Mental Health Providers
Dr. Randhawa suggests that more funding should be allocated for physician training and residency spots, and that nurse practitioners and physician assistants should be utilized as supportive elements to physicians. The pandemic has resulted in a shortage of psychiatrists and residencies, leading to staff resignations in nursing homes and healthcare facilities. While there is some talk of bipartisanship and more residency spots being available, it will still take at least 10 years to produce enough doctors.
