Compassion Fatigue and Assertiveness with Nathalie Martinek, PhD

40min | 03/27/2020

Description

Nathalie Martinek, PhD is a recovering developmental and cancer biologist who transitioned out of the controlled environment of the laboratory into the messy world of human behavior and relationships. She continues to apply her critical and objective lens honed as a scientist to understanding drivers of human behavior in the various relationships that exist in healthcare contexts to discover what prevents and promotes wellbeing and professional satisfaction.

Dr. Martinek is a speaker, listener, coach and consultant who facilitates training programs and workshops worldwide for diverse health professional audiences to enhance their capacity for human connection, abuse prevention and healing through cultivation of psychologically safe and stable therapeutic partnerships. She recently published her first book, The Little Book of Assertiveness, to provide scripts for shifting power dynamics in professional relationships to embody the qualities of a respectful and compassionate healthcare culture that enables everyone to thrive.

We discuss how to be assertive in a hierarchical environment like medicine without offending your superiors – and it starts with being curious. We then pivot into discussing compassion fatigue, first by defining it and then by exploring ways to interact with patients in a way that doesn’t end with us unnecessarily burdening ourselves with no benefit to the patients. We then end with some self-care practices that allow us to process those burdens.

About Succeed in Medicine

Was your training enough to handle everything physician life demands? From lawsuits to leadership, career decisions to challenging conversations, balancing the personal with the professional — not enough was addressed in medical school, residency or fellowship. This show fills those gaps so you can live up to the expectations that come with the white coat — not just in the exam room, but in all the places your MD follows you. Your host, Dr. Bradley Block, a private practice ENT, is right there with you — navigating the same challenges and bringing in world-class guests to teach, as he puts it, “everything we should have been learning while we were memorizing Kreb’s cycle.” With nearly 500 episodes and close to half a million downloads, Brad has built a trusted space where physicians come for brass-tacks, immediately-applicable advice. You don’t need another certification. You need a podcast that covers personal finance, private practice, side-gigs, main-gigs, reacting to bad reviews, misinformation, social media, charting, parenting, communicating, negotiating, leading, managing, teaching, learning and what to do when someone yells, “Is there a doctor on board?”
