Going home after a long, difficult day at work is a relief to most people. But it’s a little different for physicians. Even if a phone call doesn’t get them out of bed (that happens too, of course), a stray worry can still keep them up at night. These four physicians share their experiences just trying to watch a movie without intrusive thoughts: did they do everything right during surgery or make the right diagnosis for a patient in pain? It is a unique burden that cannot be lifted.

    Several Harvard-affiliated medical institutions are piloting a program to provide personalized feedback to physicians about the effect of their behavior and interactions on others. More than 675 individuals have gone through the Rapid Pulse 360 evaluations as of Spring 2024. Can it have an impact on employment practices claims or provider-to-provider communication factors?
