In this episode of Empowering Oncologists on OncoDaily TV, host Dr. Jasmine Kamboj speaks with Dr. Mimi Knoll, Radiation Oncologist and Medical Director of Digital Engagement for Northwell Health Cancer Center, about one of the most pressing challenges facing today’s oncology workforce: burnout and work-life balance.
The conversation explores how oncologists and other physicians can manage demanding workloads without falling into perfectionism, learn to set priorities instead of trying to do everything perfectly, and create more sustainable careers. Dr. Knoll shares personal insights on mentorship, community engagement, volunteering, and building a healthier work-life balance as an oncologist.
They talk about the importance of creating boundaries with social media and technology, and slowing down, saying no, and protecting time for what matters. Dr. Knoll explanes why collaboration between oncology and primary care remains essential, and discusses her work in supporting women in medicine through mentorship and professional communities.
