Put on your oxygen mask first
As surgeons we are trained to care for others. It is discipline and passion that pushes us to do better every day and to conquer new horizons for the sake of our patients鈥� wellbeing.
Being a surgeon in a University Hospital is very gratifying. It is a聽privilege to be able to聽have聽an impact on our patients as well as聽on our students.
However, as thrilling as the clinical and academic environment can be, it comes聽with its stressors. Beside our clinical responsibilities, many of us are also heavily involved in research, teaching and administrative duties.
Finding the balance between one's聽professional and personal life can be challenging and demanding. 聽When a heavy workload and demanding standard begin to take their toll, it is important that we remember to put on聽our own oxygen mask first. 聽We can only take care of others and achieve our fullest potential if we take care of ourselves.
The Department of Surgery is committed to the wellbeing of its surgeons and staff. We understand that wellness is a shared responsibility between an individual approach and a systemic approach.
If you feel overwhelmed, are struggling,聽or simply need to talk with someone, we recommend the services provided by the Quebec Physicians Health Program (QPHP):
