Physicians and doctors faced with stressful work without adequate recognition, reward and support are at risk of exhaustion (physical and emotional) and a developing detachment from their work. This accumulates and is frequently accompanied by decreased engagement, worsening concentration, increased frustration and emotional outbursts. Motivation wanes and the clinician no longer functions at their best. One of the risk factors is being a black female doctor.

We will be discussing important issues like bias, race, and discrimination in healthcare, how leadership positions put BIPOC in a unique but sometimes uncomfortable position.

According to the “Diversity in Medicine: Facts and Figures 2019” from the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC), it showed that two-thirds of physicians are male. The same report also includes a breakdown of active physicians by race and ethnicity, which shows that 56% of practicing physicians are white and only 5% are black.

We will be also discussing the importance of diversity in medicine. The lack of diversity in the physician workforce impact black patients’ health and well-being. Black patients may feel more easy discussing health with black doctors, which can help increase their compliance and adherence to medical advice. A recent study found that even when white and black doctors used the same communication style and words, black patients were more receptive to a medical advice by the black physician (Saha, 2020).

This message is to really call upon health care providers to be really mindful of their own health. It is so much easier to advise our patients if we are ourself acknowledge our humanity but still recognize that our health is important. So, if physicians and healthcare providers, and the systems in which they work, did a better job and recognizing the importance of a balanced healthy life, then perhaps physicians wouldn’t have the highest rates of suicide amongst professionals.

Physicians have an increased risk of death due to their profession. It is estimated that 400 medical students and physicians commit suicide annually in the U.S. The suicide rate is up to 3.8 times higher for male physicians and 4.5 times higher for female physicians compared to the general population (Farmer, 2018).

Physician give so much of themselves to others that they don’t get a chance to pay some much-needed attention to themselves. Not taking care of yourself affects your ability to care for your patients, increasing your patient’s and coworkers’ dissatisfaction.

Apart from affecting yourself, your patients, and your coworkers, burnout has a more significant effect on your place of employment and the healthcare system under which you operate.

Physician burnout has always been an undercurrent in healthcare, but it’s become an undeniable crisis in the post-COVID era. With a staggering 4,725,000 minutes representing the average career of a doctor, this session by Dr. Tomi Mitchell compels us to confront the unspoken realities of burnout, a critical yet uncomfortable topic in the medical field. Dr. Mitchell, a dedicated wellness and performance coach, dives into the profound challenges that physicians face today—from the relentless demands of the profession to the mental and physical toll it takes on their lives.

In this presentation, Dr. Mitchell unpacks the complex layers of physician burnout, exploring how systemic issues such as long hours, heavy workloads, and bureaucratic obstacles create an environment ripe for exhaustion and disengagement. She also illuminates the stigma associated with discussing burnout in healthcare, revealing how this often prevents doctors from seeking support and addressing their well-being.

Through personal storytelling, Dr. Mitchell bravely shares her burnout journey, including the critical moment when her own newborn’s health crisis became a turning point in her life. This experience led her to reevaluate her approach to medicine, helping her regain her passion for the profession in a way that resonates beyond patient care.

Attendees will discover actionable strategies to stay engaged and find renewed purpose, even amidst the pressures of modern healthcare. Dr. Mitchell emphasizes establishing “energy inputs”—activities and practices that replenish and sustain physical, emotional, and mental energy. She advocates for non-medical pursuits, creative outlets, and right-brain activities that foster joy and personal fulfillment. She highlights how these can rekindle a sense of purpose and build resilience against burnout.

In a world where waiting for systemic change may disillusion healthcare workers, Dr. Mitchell empowers attendees to take proactive steps to shape their wellness journey, set healthier boundaries, and rediscover their authentic selves. By focusing on personal well-being and cultivating resilience, this presentation inspires physicians to survive and thrive in their careers, ultimately creating a more sustainable path forward in medicine.

In today’s world, we’re obsessed with “making it”—working hard, sacrificing, and enduring to reach that pinnacle of success. We chase titles, accolades, and achievements as if they’re the final markers of a life well-lived. But here’s the uncomfortable truth Dr. Tomi Mitchell aims to address: success, as we’ve defined it, is draining us. In healthcare, business, and education, professionals reach the “top” only to discover they’re physically exhausted, mentally worn, and emotionally empty. How did success come to mean surviving rather than thriving?

Through her journey as a physician, entrepreneur, and coach, Dr. Mitchell has understood that the societal definition of success is fundamentally flawed. She believes that real success isn’t about enduring burnout for a title; it’s about creating a life where success means alignment with our deepest values, not just accomplishments. For Dr. Mitchell, redefining success involves balancing our relationships with ourselves, others, and our work and society. It’s about courageously letting go of the “shoulds” that leave us overwhelmed and embracing the clarity that frees us to make meaningful decisions that enrich our lives and our communities.

Relevance: This talk tackles a pressing issue facing professionals in high-stress fields who find themselves drained by the pursuit of “success.” By challenging traditional definitions, this talk resonates with anyone disillusioned by the societal pressures and sacrifices made in the name of achievement.
