The abstract for Dr. Gautam’s talk is below.
Stress is inherent in medicine, and can lead to burnout. This presentation is designed to assist physicians in learning how to recognize and prevent burnout. The main causes of stress and drivers of burnout will be discussed. We need to stop blaming doctors and see burnout prevention as a shared responsibility of both the individual physicians and the healthcare system. Instead of focusing on preventing burnout, we will look at enhancing joy in our work, so we can maintain an intellectual, behavioral, and emotional commitment to meaningful and satisfying work. We will review the 5 C’s of Resilience to reinforce strategies that individuals can leverage to enhance resilience and maintain the joy in medicine.
PLEASE RSVP AND JOIN US FOR AN EVENING TO DISCUSS HOW TO FIND MORE JOY IN OUR EVERYDAY CLINICAL PRACTICES.
Location: Le Select Bistro 432 Wellington St W, Toronto, ON M5V 1E3
