About this event
Emotional exhaustion for physicians and other clinicians was already at an all-time high, even before the COVID-19 pandemic. In fact, one in three healthcare professionals has already met the criteria for burnout.
A crisis such as the COVID-19 pandemic is rarely the time to learn new life skills like meditation, yoga, or running daily 5Ks. Of course, if those are honed and practiced skills, now is the time to use them. However, in the absence of such coping tactics, bite-sized tools and strategies that are simple, effective, and evidence-based can help you to regain a sense of purpose and better manage burnout.
Join Dr. Sexton as he discusses perspective, hope, and simple strategies to employ during these tense and unprecedented times.
Registration is limited to ISMIE and SEMPIC policyholders, ISMS members, and their employed staff.
J. Bryan Sexton, PhD, has captured the wisdom of frontline caregivers through rigorous assessments of safety culture, teamwork, and workforce resilience. His research instruments have been used around the world in over 3000 hospitals, in 30 countries. His current R01 grant from NIH is a randomized clinical trial of resilience training.
He has found that results across industries, work settings, shifts, professions, and countries highlight a great deal about reliability in high risk environments – specifically, “you are better off changing the situation, than trying to change human nature.”
