Session 4: The Burnout Epidemic: Strategies and Tools to Replenish Our Patients and Ourselves (July 27-28)

Egg Harbor, WI US
July 27, 2017 to July 28, 2017

Prolonged, unrelenting stress raises the risk for burnout. Currently more than half of practicing physicians in the U.S. are believed to be afflicted. Common symptoms of burnout are physical and emotional exhaustion, apathy, cynicism, and decreased effectiveness at work, all of which can lead to serious consequences. When the pain and suffering from burnout is faced head on, it can catalyze meaningful life change.

This symposium will identify the multitude of etiologies contributing to burnout and the full range of evidence based remedies.  These concepts will be interwoven within an accessible and memorable nautical metaphor.  Audiences have found this metaphor to be immediately instructive for identifying key problems and their solutions that when implemented bring about meaningful change, replenishment, and rejuvenation.

Thursday  Overview; Sailing basics for land lovers; Nautical metaphor defined; Etiologies of burnout; Evidence based solutions; Mindfulness exercises; Anchor down time

Friday Check-ins; Self-assessment exercises (aspirations, challenges, and preparations); Personal navigational plans; Take home tools
