Throughout history, cyclical disruptions have often played a role in evolving people and the ways in which we engage with work. The current pandemic has definitely been a notable disruption that has also been a catalyst for change, particularly with regards to the ways in which people work. The strains on the healthcare system have been well noted, and burnout is on the rise. As many seek to find new ways to stay engaged with professional activities, it’s always refreshing to get diverse perspectives on how we define work. During this episode, we discuss the topic of healthcare practitioners being able to engage in both clinical and non-clinical activities as a way to stay professionally refreshed.
