Dr. Mark Sanders on rebuilding joy in family medicine through compassionate leadership

The pressures of longitudinal care and a strained health care system can make joy in practice feel out of reach for many family physicians. Dr. Mark Sanders—a family physician in Duncan, British Columbia, with nearly three decades of experience—shares how Indigenous teachings on compassionate leadership helped shape his clinic’s supportive, relationship-centred model. Listen as he explores how actionable values, psychological safety, and intentional connection can strengthen teams, improve patient care, and renew a sense of joy in family medicine.
