Beyond Burnout – Understanding Moral Injury in Medicine

 In this powerful episode, Dr. Svetlana Chamoun takes a deeper look at what’s really driving physician distress—going beyond burnout to uncover the concept of moral injury. It’s not just exhaustion or stress; it’s the heartbreak of being forced to act against one’s core values in a system that often prioritizes profits over patients. Through personal insights and real-world examples, Dr. Chamoun unpacks how moral injury manifests, why it’s often misdiagnosed as burnout, and what meaningful change looks like—for institutions, teams, and individual physicians. This episode invites listeners to rethink the true cost of practicing medicine today—and what healing could actually mean.
