Here are four thoughts:
1. Volunteering with your colleagues outside of the office may boost morale inside the office.
2. In a relaxed environment, you will have the time to connect and get to know your colleagues better, while also giving back to your community.
3. Physicians want to help people, and volunteering allows them to do so without the added paperwork.
4. A factor of physician burnout stems from a lack of work/life balance, so getting out into the community will take you mind off work while still allowing you to feel productive.
