Burnout 101 Understanding the biggest epidemic in medicine today

Jump start your group’s journey towards physician wellness with this deep dive into physician burnout. This session will rapidly educate your providers on what burnout is, how to recognize it, and the incredible toll it takes on ourselves and our patients. Most importantly, it will empower your providers with the common language and skills needed to begin to tackle this problem at both the individual and organizational level.

Resilience and Meaning in Medicine Reduce stress and improve your experience of practicing medicine by cultivating psychological flexibility.

Referred to as the “super tool” of resiliency, psychological flexibility is an evidence-based skill for improving both mental well-being and doing more of what matters to you in your professional and personal life. Research overwhelmingly demonstrates that higher levels of psychological flexibility improve personal resilience, performance, and work satisfaction, as well as decrease burnout, turnover, and poor communication. In this highly interactive session, you will learn what psychological flexibility is as well as practical skills for using it to improve your experience of your work.

Are We Perfect Yet? The Inner Critic and Self-compassion for physicians.

Physicians are perfectionists. Most of us wear this label as a badge of honor, believing that our drive towards perfection is the only way to ensure the excellence and precision that our patients deserve. Yet research clearly shows that perfectionism, and the inner critic that accompanies it, are detrimental to our mental health, undermine the quality of our care, and fuel burnout. In this session we confront the illusion of perfection, and provide tools for taming the inner critic. Furthermore, we discuss the science behind self-compassion, and how self-compassion offers a different way to approach our work that promotes longevity and improves our efficacy without causing us to “lose our edge.”

The Work-Life Balance Fallacy How striving for balance only leaves us disappointed, and what you can do to create more fulfillment both at work and at home

In this talk we explore why the proverbial concept of “work-life” balance is flawed and contributes significantly to our suffering and burnout as physicians. Based on compelling research into the science of attention and mindfulness, we explore practical skills for changing our relationship with our work – including how to connect with our purpose and develop our values so that we can spend more time engaged with who and what is important to us.

Leading Through Chaos Leveraging the neuroscience of effective leadership

Whether you are the attending for a clinical team, hold an official administrative title, or run a research group, you are a leader. Yet medical school does little to prepare us to lead others. In this session we explore what recent developments in cognitive neuroscience can teach us about how to lead and inspire others to perform their best work despite the complexities and ambiguity of our healthcare environment.
