Physician burnout is a major issue that affects a vast number of family physicians. In the Division's work towards supporting physicians to feel valued, represented and considered, we are excited to share this collection of wellness resources, including websites, books, podcasts and apps that has been created by Dr. Daniel Dodek.
Dr. Dodek writes a physician wellness column, Wellness with Dr. Dan, featured in the Division's Fast Facts bi-weekly newsletter. His discussion and presentation on specific resources centred around physician wellness can be found here.
Dr. Daniel Dodek is a full-service family doctor interested in physician health and wellness. He wants doctors to experience joy in their work. He keeps a balanced lifestyle by running, cycling, playing tennis, gardening, and cooking with his wife and two kids. These resources were curated to promote the importance of wellness and outline practical wellness tools for physicians.
