ForwardFrom Burning Out to Burning Brightly
Course description
Burnout has become widespread among physicians and has only increased during the COVID pandemic. Physicians are also experiencing moral injury, which is distinct from burnout.

The Illinois State Medical Society invites you to join Elizabeth Chiang, MD PhD, an oculoplastic surgeon at Illinois Eye Center in Peoria and Illinois and certified life coach, for a program that addresses the prevalence and causes of physician burnout, review the difference between burnout and moral injury, and present tools that can help combat burnout.

- Recognize common causes of burnout
