Tips to Avoid Burnout in Psychiatry (Outpatient, mostly)

In this episode, Dr. Fu and Dr. Malzberg share practical systems for time protection: start on time, end on time, finish documentation inside the visit, and use tools like AI scribes and quiet typing gear. They also lay out clear messaging rules so emails, texts, and forms do not become off-the-clock clinical care, plus the value of emergency slots. The deeper work is emotional: process the job with mentors or supervision, know your limits, and build a real life outside medicine so you can stay effective for the long game.
