- Optimize time management by the use of clinical tools such as the "Problem List" and Evidence-Based-Medicine (EBM)
- Focus on physician-patient "face-to-face" time to maximize profitability
- Overcome the challenges of the Electronic Health Record (EHR) on the physician-patient relationship with time-saving methods such as customizable forms
- Cope with emotionally challenging patients by learning to show empathy, even when you don't feel it
- Use psychology to maintain your mental health and find work-life balance
