It is packed full of information and offers valuable strategies and insight."" - Analise Brett, BSPharm, RPh ""Dr. Foster explores a topic that has always been important yet has remained taboo...This is perhaps particularly topical now...Burnout will threaten the healthcare workforce in general, and it is essential that we understand its causes and devise strategies to address it."" - Oliver F. Bathe, MD, MSc, FRCSC, FACS, Professor of Surgery and Oncology, University of Calgary, Calgary, Alberta Health Services ""Equity in medicine or the lack thereof is a topic not frequently discussed. Dr. Foster identifies that biases contribute to burnout. Reality Check does not shy away from discussing the gender bias and racism present in the healthcare industry.
