Dr. Andre Posner Champions the Power of Stillness and Mentorship

Pennsylvania, US, 3rd September 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, In a new interview spotlighting his career and philosophy, Dr. Andre Posner, a highly regarded hospitalist and award-winning medical educator, is using his platform to raise awareness for something too often dismissed in high-pressure environments like healthcare: the power of quiet reflection, mentorship, and mental clarity.

"Some of the best insights happen in the quietest moments-walking between patient rooms, waiting on lab results. I believe boredom isn't something to run from. It's where your brain has space to think," said Dr. Posner in the feature interview.

With physician burnout rates at an all-time high-more than 60% of U.S. doctors reported burnout in 2022 according to the AMA-Dr. Posner is calling attention to the simple habits that have kept him grounded throughout a decades-long career: short meditative breaks, walking without distractions, and daily chess puzzles to sharpen focus.

"It doesn't take much," he said. "Sometimes just three minutes of deep breathing can re-center you in the middle of chaos."

Dr. Posner, who works at Penn Medicine and has received multiple teaching awards-including the Faculty Award for Resident Teaching at Lower Bucks Hospital and two D. Stratton Woodruff Awards-believes that mentorship is just as essential for physician well-being as it is for learning.

"Mentoring isn't about having all the answers. It's about creating space for others to grow. And you end up learning just as much in return," he shared.

Dr. Posner encourages people across all professions-not just in medicine-to build small practices into their routines that allow for reflection and restoration. "Put down your phone, take a walk, sit with a notebook. That's when real thinking begins."

Why It Matters

60% of physicians reported symptoms of burnout in 2022 (AMA).

Physician suicide rates are among the highest of any profession (CDC).

Studies show even brief mindfulness practices can reduce stress and improve decision-making under pressure (Harvard Health).

What You Can Do

This isn't a campaign you need to donate to. It's one you can live.

Take 5 minutes each day to reflect in silence.

Mentor someone younger in your field-even informally.

Replace mindless scrolling with a thought-provoking book or puzzle.

Talk about burnout with your colleagues-don't normalize it.

"Medicine-and life-aren't sprints," Dr. Posner said. "They're long games that require focus, clarity, and connection. We need to make room for all three."
