Course Description

Working as a physician places one at high risk for burnout due to the “service” nature of medicine. There is a stigma in the medical field as it relates to physician mental health and the perceived inability to care for patients. In recent years, we have seen an increase in physician burnout, suicide and early retirement as a result of this stigma. One can design an intentional professional well-being plan that is actually based on science and is possible to follow in the busy life of a doc. The purpose of this activity is to educate physicians on the science behind brain optimization, and how it can reduce the symptoms of burnout and mental exhaustion. The program will also help participants develop skills to utilize while facing stressful situations in both the workplace, as well as within their personal lives, leading to a healthier physician population. This will be achieved through the presentation of applicable strategies and new brain tools for physicians to utilize in order to reduce stress while increasing mental agility.

Learning objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, learners will be able to:

  • Discuss the concerns and issues physicians and employers encounter related to burnout.
  • Describe the science behind brain optimization to combat physician burnout and mental exhaustion.
  • Identify opportunities for physicians to build resilience through tangible takeaways and strategies applicable for everyday life.
  • Develop healthier relationships with colleagues and patients through an improved relationship with oneself.
