SAN FRANCISCO — In this Healio Video Perspective from the AAO meeting, Lisa M. Nijm, MD, JD, shares tips on practicing physician wellness and cultivating a positive workplace environment.
“Prioritizing your wellness in your schedule is something that is really crucial to being able to have that longevity in your career and to be able to take care of patients and keep your practice thriving for the long term,” she said.
According to Nijm, ophthalmologists should utilize different forms of communication with their staff and set personal wellness goals for themselves to create a thriving workplace.
“If you don’t set your goals, other people are going to set them for you,” Nijm said. “And so, you set your wellness goals much like you set your practice goals.”
