SELF ASSESSMENT #1
Stacey Sweet recently joined the Mercy Medical Center after completing a PGY2
ambulatory care pharmacy residency. Over the course of her first year, the hospital
budget cuts and resources began to decline. Staffing in the transitions of care unit
decreased and Stacey’s patient load rose significantly. She struggled to keep up
with the increasing workload and found herself unable to spend as much time as
she wanted with her patients. Additionally, the hospital instituted mandatory
overtime to help overcome the staffing shortage, and Stacey had to work a few
hours beyond her usual 12-hour shifts, working harder six or seven days in a row.
She found herself tired all the time. She has continually found it difficult to focus,
especially near the end of her shift.
She started to call her family less often and never seems to have time for her
friends, or crafting, which she normally used to do on weekends. She now finds
herself reaching for beer or wine several times a week to shut off the work-related
stresses. Of the 12-stage model of burnout by Herbert Freudenberger and Gail
North where does Stacey likely fall given the circumstances described?
A. 0-2
B. 3-5
C. 6-8
D. 9-11
SELF-ASSESSMENT #2
Hugo is a 4th year PharmD student who usually answers questions accurately when
he puts in the effort, his work is impressive, but at times, he zones out on rounds.
You’ve caught him gazing around several times in the last week. He is not listening
to what is being discussed. He spends too much time texting on his phone and does
not speak up enough during patient discussions. His patient tracking forms lack
information and pertinent details. His SOAP notes are superficial. As you begin to
probe further to discuss those factors impacting Hugo’s performance, which two
topics are more critical to discuss initially?
A. Communication and gratitude
B. Distractions and expectations
C. Gratitude and physical fitness
D. Communication and expectations
Play to strengths
Efficiencies of practice
Gratitude and reflection
Avoid social comparisons
