Dr. Kaufmann's six-part series on the fundamental principles of physician self-care. The "BASICS" series offers practical suggestions for stress management, improved health and well-being, and building resilience.
Each letter of the word BASICS introduces a category for discussion: “B” is for body, or physiological considerations; “A” stands for affect, attitude and matters psychological; “S” is for social, and refers to our personal relationships; “I” is for intellect, and the many ways we can use it to our advantage; “C” stands for community, and introduces a discussion about the nature and importance of healthy personal and professional groupings; the final “S” refers to the spiritual domain, perhaps the least discussed and the most alluring.
