“Women are significantly more likely than men to feel that the time they spend on the EMR outside regular working hours is ‘excessive’ or moderately high’.” National Physician Health Survey 2025, CMA
Learn practical strategies to finish your charting within the clinical day — no late nights, no burnout, just proven systems that work.
Session Description:
This session is designed for physicians who want to stop charting at night and start getting home with the work of the day done. In this practical live webinar led by The Charting Coach, Dr. Sarah Smith shares the proven steps taught to thousands of physicians that help them complete notes, charting, and inbox work during the clinical day without changing EMRs, staffing, or patient volume.
Physicians will be guided to reconsider the obstacles that make finishing on time feel impossible and explore realistic, stepwise changes that can immediately improve their experience of clinical medicine and create more sustainability in their clinical day.
This webinar is ideal for physicians seeking realistic, immediately applicable tools to improve efficiency, reduce burnout risk, and create more time for life outside of medicine.
Participants will learn:
- The exact steps to stop charting at night
- How to reduce mental load during the clinical day
- Practical ways to get control of notes, charting, inboxes, and backlog
- How to make small stepwise changes that support getting home on time
- Why finishing today’s work today is possible, even in a busy practice
