BUT - we still think there is much to be learned from our accomplishments & shortcomings, so we are sharing them with you!

This episode was created for our group's annual retreat. In this show, we peek through the retrospectoscope to review the going-ons in the professional development side of our group in 2016. We talk about our accomplishments as a group, the many challenges we have faced throughout the year and finally we wrap up with our vision for the future (spoiler alert: it's world domination).

But awesome takes a lot of work. And all that work comes at a cost:
BURNOUT
We are working on strategies to better recognize and manage burnout among our providers. We're also looking to create a safe space to talk about stress, burnout and the importance of self-care.
Burnout Podcast being brewed up as we speak
