Physician burnout and the Kentucky Derby: a shocking parallel

We discuss the striking similarities between the Kentucky Derby and the challenges of medical training. Our guest, Corinne Sundar Rao, an internal medicine physician, shares valuable insights based on her expertise. We explore the shared traits of speed, stamina, skill, training, and positioning, while also addressing the pressing issue of physician burnout. Join us as we uncover the parallel narratives and discuss ways to support the well-being of physicians.

Corinne Sundar Rao is a board-certified internal medicine physician and founder, Legacy Physicians, which helps hospitals find well-qualified physicians at a much lower overhead than they would pay staffing agencies. She can be reached on LinkedIn and Facebook.

She discusses her KevinMD article, "The Kentucky Derby: factors that contribute to winning the most prestigious horse race in the world, and what medical training can learn from them."
