We kick off The Patient Physician podcast with a conversation on the history of physician well-being and the evolution of wellness initiatives to assist residents and medical students as they seek work-life balance through their schooling and into their careers with Glenda Mutinda, Ph.D., who serves as the Director of Interprofessional Well-Being at JPS Health Network. Dr. Mutinda believes the more we don't talk about things, the longer they fester and cause damage on many levels - personal health and relationships, our patient care, and, ultimately, our communities. We hope you'll join us for the tough - and insightful - conversations on The Patient Physician.
