Looking for inspiration and guidance as an early career physician?

We sit down with Amna Shabbir MD, the Founder and CEO of Early Career Physicians Institute, a Certified Wellness and Life Coach, a keynote speaker, and a dual board-certified Geriatrician-Internist. Dr. Shabir’s journey from residency to becoming an attending sheds light on the unique challenges faced by early career physicians. Also, we discuss the pressures and expectations that come with this stage of their careers and explore strategies to prevent burnout during this critical phase.

As a result of her experiences, Dr. Shabbir emphasizes the need for comprehensive support systems. From coaching to free resources and Q&A sessions, she has created a platform dedicated to addressing the multifaceted aspects of physician well-being.

“I loved working with learners. You're sharing your art and you get the joy of watching another human thrive. So, it can be both ways, right? You can share the art and joy of learning with them, or you could take all the trauma that was inflicted on you and then change the Socratic method of learning and turn it into something completely different and transfer it to them.” - Amna Shabbir MD
