Behind the Scenes: Generational Divides, Physician Unions, and What Practice Owners Really Want - A Special Snack Episode, EP 230

In this candid SNACK episode, Miranda turns the microphone around and interviews Tracy about her recent speaking tour across California. Tracy spoke at multiple events with the Santa Clara County Medical Association and Fresno Madera Medical Society, teaching burnout prevention at the CME level—and what she learned surprised even her. 

You'll hear about the practice owners who started their own practices after burning out in large integrated systems, the generational divide that's causing friction in healthcare workplaces, and a surprising discovery: residents in California can unionize, but attending physicians cannot. 

Tracy also shares her perspective on why burnout prevention programs often miss the mark by putting the onus on individual physicians when burnout is, by definition, a workplace problem. Plus, she poses a provocative question she asked a room full of employed physicians: What would happen if 50% of you walked out? 

This episode offers fresh insights on systemic healthcare challenges, the commodification of healthcare, and what Tracy is learning as she builds the Thriving Practice Community.
