Special Stress-Relieving Issue!

A recently published paper* on stress management among medical professionals concluded that “critical decisions and heavy responsibility reported among physicians are associated with stress, burnout, and emotional exhaustion”.

At this hectic time of the year, with holidays to plan, flu season, and 2007 deadlines looming, we offer you this special issue of our newsletter, with tips on simple ways to reduce your stress in the coming weeks.

Review Our Stress Survey Findings … and Win a Day at a Spa!

Epocrates recently surveyed 600 clinicians about their job-related stress. Survey participants shared their opinions on what causes their stress, how they reduce their own stress, and even which professions are more stressful than healthcare.

We invite you to view the survey results at our website. Plus, to help you relax, we are giving away two vouchers for a day at a spa!
