His passion for healthcare improvement has led Talbot to co-found (with Wendy Dean MD), Moral Injury of Healthcare, a 501c3 non-profit. Through lecturing, workshops, consulting, a podcast, and book (“If I Betray These Words”), this organization’s goal is to mitigate physician distress, turnover, and burnout secondary to moral injury – the concept that supporting clinicians to take optimal care of patients is the path to success for individual physicians and healthcare organizations.
