The 3rd Conversation is focused on bringing together disparate groups to connect as humans and explore how that relationship can be a source of power, healing, and fulfillment. In that vein, here are some items that piqued our interest or inspired us this week…
COVID, ugh. Despite the ongoing vaccine rollout, sometimes it feels like the COVID pandemic will never end. That’s why we love these ten quick exercises tailored to individuals who work in heath care.

Female primary care physicians earn less than males. Why? A study says it’s because they conduct fewer patient visits, despite spending more time per visit, per day, and per year on direct patient care than their counterparts. Longer visits and strong patient/clinician relationships are better for patient outcomes and help prevent clinician burnout. The gender pay gap is yet another reason that the fee-for-service payment structure that prioritizes visit volume has to go.
