THE ON-DECK CIRCLE
Tim Cheslock, DO, FACOEP
Not a day goes by that another article streams across one of the social media feeds about how physicians have weathered the storm of the pandemic and are now realizing the effects of those two long years. Do you feel the same motivation for work as you did before the pandemic? Have your long-term career goals changed? Where do you see yourself in five or ten years from now? Has burnout set in?
If I asked each of you those questions, I’m sure the answers would be vastly different depending on where you were prior to the start of the pandemic. There may be some common themes or maybe even some surprising answers. Universally though I think it’s safe to say that if nothing else, the events of the last two years have made us all a bit more conscious about our future and our priorities.
