The Resilient Leader: Immunizing for Stress (Charleston, SC)

 

 

 

 

 

 

Event Overview:  The evidence abounds. A compelling body of research estimates that psychosocial stressors can play a contributing role in aggravating and even initiating pathology. Patient stress can limit the efficacy of our efforts to achieve optimal care management AND our own practitioner stress can lead to errors in judgement, dissatisfaction, and burnout. This topic belongs squarely within the health care leader’s’ scope of practice and urgently calls for an expanded approach to caring for our patients AND caring for ourselves. This is an experiential workshop. We will explore tools, techniques, and resources to help build resiliency medicine for ourselves, our patients, and our workplace environment.
