Determined: How Burned Out Doctors Can Thrive in a Broken Medical System

America’s broken medical system is wearing down doctors—even as they’re celebrated as heroes.

Physician burnout costs the medical industry—dominated by insurance companies, administrators, and electronic record systems—$5 billion annually. Even before COVID-19, 70% of physicians wouldn’t recommend medicine as a career to their own families. It’s time for change.

In Determined, academic physician and certified coach Dr. Jimmy Turner presents an evidence-based framework to help doctors understand the root causes of burnout. By challenging prevailing narratives and mindsets, physicians can reclaim their purpose and autonomy, creating a life they love—even if the system doesn’t support them.

Physicians are far from powerless; they can transform the medical system and become true heroes of their own journey without sacrificing their mental health or well-being.
