AVOIDING BURNOUT DURING TRAINING AND CLINICAL PRACTICE

Topic/Speaker

  • CARDIOLOGY FELLOW – TOP GUN: How to Bring your Best and Prevent your Worst – Samuel Sears, PhD (East Carolina)

Learning Objectives

  • Identify common challenges for first year cardiology fellows
  • Examine how demands challenge psychological well being
  • Activate three wellness behaviors to optimize well-being and high performance

Starting cardiology fellowship represents the realization of years of training.  Professional demands increase and success partially depends on consistently managing personal and professional attitudes and behavior.  The purpose of this talk is to discuss common challenges in the first year and the introduction of your own strategies for keeping your mental functioning at its best.
