Physician Burnout Prevention and Recovery

What does the Medical Mastermind Community offer in terms of forums and discussion that would help a physician? We offer weekly teleconferences on par with the Healer’s Art course and other works of Rachel Remen. I’d invite you to call in on our next meeting and try it out.

In essence, what happens during the evolution of a physician is that a number of factors conspire to diffuse our original purpose for choosing a career in medicine. Keeping an open mind, we now teleconference with medical students and pre-med students and it really takes us back to the root of why we got into medicine in the first place. Listening to these students offers an inspiring perspective and helps us reshape our vision of what we want our career to be like today.

There is one membership requirement. We focus on solutions and not discouragement. The principle of the Mastermind group, in fact, is that two or more people work together in a spirit of perfect harmony to achieve a definite purpose. While there are a lot of reasons to abandon medicine, negativity will not be tolerated. The fact is that even if there is a mass exodus from medicine in the coming paradigm, there will remain a generation of physicians that will continue working. Our purpose is help those that are staying in medicine, though we do have a Career Training section on changing medical careers.

Personally, I love the content and factual nature of works like A Return To Healing and The Vanishing Oath, but they offer nothing in the way of encouraging the young physician-in-training in how to survive their careers with an in-tact sense of self, purpose, and fulfillment. They don’t have an answer at all. The Medical Mastermind Community is the answer.

Cost of Physician Membership

The students in the Steering Committee are charter members of the Medical Mastermind Community and they unanimously agreed that there should not be a hierarchy with respect to price or position in our teleconferences. We’ve taken that so far as use first names with physician members of our Community, except for guest interviewees. Therefore the price for physicians is the same as a freshman college student.
