Description of CME Course
Medical education and the medical profession are stressful endeavors, with high rates of burnout and mental health problems, including substance abuse. We will be satisfied and effective clinicians only if we find healthy methods for coping with stress. We cannot reach our potential as healers if we ourselves are unhealthy in body, mind or spirit. We cannot be fully present for our patients or colleagues if we are depressed, anxious or distracted by personal problems. In this module we explore the landscape of personality, study and demanding professional work through three stories. We examine ways that Jill, a medical student; Bill, a resident; and Lisa, a young practicing clinician, strive to find and sustain professional satisfaction and personal well-being.
Diplomate Engagement
Self-assessment questions tailored to each specific module topic are required upon module completion. Multiple choice questions required; open-ended discussion questions are optional.
