San Diego, CA., October 25, 2018 – Jeffrey M. Smith, MD, FACS, CPC will present “Burnout, Resilience and Wellness: My Argument for the Stronger Canary,” taking place at the UCSD/Rady Children’s Hospital – San Diego (RCHSD) Surgical Grand Rounds on Friday, October 26, 2018 from 7:00 – 8:00 am.
Event Details:
80-90% of burnout contributors come from external stresses of the organization, healthcare system, and our culture. Addressing the fourth aim (provider experience and satisfaction) of the Quadruple Aim for organizations would have more significant impact on burnout prevention and wellness. Changing these takes more time, due to bureaucracy, differing opinions of what actions will have the greatest impact, budgets, and more. What if we physicians at least took on that which we have the most potential to control – ourselves? What if we integrated methods and tools that promoted wellness, positive sustainable resilience, and decrease the signs and symptoms of burnout. I am not waiting around for “them.”
Presentation Objectives:
1) Take the discussion of burnout beyond definitions and causes, and start creating effective strategies to manage it on both an individual and organizational level.
2) Learn the critical 8 PRACTICEs that create sustainable surgeon success and understand why knowledge of these can empower you to create a sustainable and fulfilling surgical practice.
3) Learn effective tools and strategies that balance out the negative stressors, frustrations, and challenges of becoming a skilled surgeon.
4) Create plans that condition you to adopt burnout prevention, resilience training, and wellness strategies.
