Caring For Yourself & Others during the COVID-19 Pandemic

Administrators and their practices are dealing with higher-than-normal levels of stress, anxiety, worry, and emotional and physical exhaustion as the COVID-19 virus continues to spread.

From balance and burnout to emotional health, issues of well-being are front and center for today’s medical practices. Having a practice culture that supports people’s health is having a culture that supports people.  

Ready to rethink your role in a way that allows well-being to be embedded into the practice culture?  We’ll take a look at how living with intention, purpose, discovering one’s true self-authenticity, practicing self-care and focusing on the positive gratitude are the key attributes to practice success.

Learning objectives:

• 1.       Recognize major factors influencing work-life balance and the key drives of burnout
• 2.       Explain the relevance of addressing leadership, self-care, self-compassion, emotional disclosure and gratitude as predictors of burnout.
• 3.       Using an innovative model created to promote fulfillment and decrease burnout, discover ways to address personal resilience, culture of wellness and practice efficiency.
