Physicians and other clinicians routinely encounter stressful professional and personal situations. Each of us responds in a variety of ways: some effective, some ineffective — or worse. Poor stress management is precipitated and perpetuated by bad habits, time constraints, cognitive load and inattention.

This course will help you recognize sources of stress and identify factors that impact personal and professional resilience. Expert faculty will illuminate opportunities and pitfalls in medical practice and introduce the practice of mindfulness as an evidence-based strategy for managing stress. The program will provide experiential opportunities to explore your mind-body connection, skillful self-care and personal well-being.
