PA Burnout
One of the ways to protect against burnout is to make sure you’re focusing on your well-being. Well-being is defined as the state of being comfortable, healthy, or happy. The ability to manage stress and find meaning and purpose in work and life affects mental health, life satisfaction, and overall well-being. There are five main types of well-being: emotional, physical, social, workplace, and societal. Protect against burnout by ensuring your emotional, physical, social, workplace, and societal well-being. At AAPA, we’re here to support your PA well-being and fight PA burnout with these resources.
