“Finding Joy and Meaning in the Disrupted Work of Healthcare”

In these tumultuous times, with a perfect storm of massive disruption of a 2,500-year-old tradition, how do we maintain joy in the practice of medicine? How do we find the meaning in sharing power with patients as we care and heal? This session will share research around the joy in work and engage the audience in reflection. Lessons will come from a historic look at how medicine was once practiced very differently, as well as new guidelines around how clinician well-being can be successfully supported by hospital systems and individuals. Attendees will leave with strategies and ideas for combating burnout and thriving in this era, and ideally, a renewed hope that the joy can be restored to our important work of scientifically excellent, collaborative, compassionate patient care.
