1. 2019’s Most Important Dates
We get it—it’s challenging to juggle your busy work schedule, family, social life, house chores, hobbies, and everyday tasks. Add in the fact that it’s your exam year, and managing all those dates becomes one more thing on your list. Ugh.
In our quest to continually give you time back in your life, we created our “Most Important Dates” annual blog series. You guys love getting all of the most important medical (re)certification exam dates in one place.

2. Physician Burnout: What It Feels Like, How It’s Affecting Patient Care, and How to Fight It
This blog was… polarizing. While we understand that there are way too many factors affecting physician burnout to cover in a single blog, we do think physician burnout is a topic worth major discussion. It’s important, your life is important, your health is important.
As physician burnout continues to be a growing issue in the U.S., we’re turning our focus to helping individual physicians who are feeling burnt out. Read on for major causes of physician burnout, and ways to get out from underneath feelings of burnout.

January 2019 feels like it was forever ago! You guys loved these hacks right around the time of New Year’s Resolutions.

And when you work 12+ hour shifts, it’s impossible to make any lifestyle changes with an already jam-packed schedule. We’ve got your back!
