Battling burnout? Here’s a fix

Written by APC News | Apr 09, 2026

Last week we outlined some of our takeaways from Owner Summit. But one session has continued to stick with us more than any other – Dr. Jonathan Hetterly’s presentation on burnout. It put words and structure around something many pharmacy owners and compounders know but rarely say out loud: the same traits that make you effective as a leader – drive, vigilance, responsibility – can run you straight into the wall if you’re not careful.

That matters in any profession. But in compounding, where the margin for error is small and the stakes for patients are real, it matters even more. A burned-out pharmacist isn’t just a personal problem. It’s a patient safety risk.

The recording of Dr. Hetterly’s session is now available exclusively to APC members. It’s the kind of thing worth listening to yourself and then sharing with your team.
