Summary: Dr. Sanj Katyal is the founder of Positive Psychology Program for Physicians and radiologist. Dr. Katyal holds certifications in Positive Psychology and Positive Psychology coaching from Whole Being Institute. He has published and lectured extensively on well-being and the Science of Happiness to audiences ranging from college students to physicians. He is currently teaching a senior level college course in positive psychology while investigating the effectiveness of positive psychology interventions on physician wellness/burnout. In this conversation, Dr. Katyal shares with us how positive psychology increases physician well-being and in turn, improves the care they provide their patients. This powerful approach should be incorporated into every physician's tool box. As a practicing radiologist and physician executive for the past 18 years, Dr. Katyal understands the pressures that many physicians face as we move away from traditional fee for service and toward more value based payment models. As Senior Vice President of Clinical and Strategic Services at a rapidly growing startup radiology company for 10 years, Dr. Katyal has developed and implemented an innovative, highly efficient physician workflow that resulted in higher quality, improved focus, lower fatigue and very high job satisfaction. The core principles of this workflow (organizational efficiency, attention capital and physician zone time) have been implemented for physicians in other specialties with similar success.
