8. Physician Coaching to Prevent Resident Burnout with Tonya Caylor MD

The significance of dealing with burnout at the residency level is what Dr. Tonya Caylor realized when she founded Joy in Family Medicine Coaching.  She believes that developing a program with the tools and strategies would help physicians, early on in their career, create and sustain a work-life balance.

With over 20 years of clinical experience and 12 of those in academic medicine, Dr. Caylor continues to wear many hats as a community physician, on-call faculty, and as physician coach with a focus on residents, faculty, and new graduates.  Listen as she shares her own burnout story.

“In a residency world, if they can clean up their mindset and pour in some self-care and get rid of the negative self-talk, they're going to be the best change agent they can be.”
