ForwardPhysician Well-Being: What’s Changed and What’s More Important than Ever in the Wake of COVID-19
Course Description
Working to address physician well-being is a complex but highly important issue, and the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the urgency and need to support our healthcare professionals.
In this webinar, participants will learn about concepts related to physician well-being and the predominant drivers that contribute to a model of well-being. This will be explained within the context of the COVID-19 crisis in New York City as viewed through the lens of a well-being leader located within the Mount Sinai Health System.
We will also discuss considerations surrounding how the pandemic has influenced drivers of well-being and led to a significant pivot in programming and priorities. Finally, participants will have an opportunity to examine how to frame an ongoing case for well-being that they can bring to bear at their home practices and institutions.
Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this learning activity, participants will be able to:
- Describe the factors affecting physician well-being
