Physician & Health Professional Well-being
Prioritize your well-being—without stepping away from your purpose.
This CME/CE course blends the best of lifestyle medicine, positive psychology, and well-being science to help you create a healthier, more sustainable approach to work and life. Learn practical strategies to reduce burnout, improve emotional and physical health, and become a role model for a culture of self-care—in just 5 hours.
This course, led by Liana Lianov, MD, MPH, FACLM, FACPM, DipABLM, and funded through the generous support of the Ardmore Institute of Health, was created to describe and apply approaches that support health professionals in achieving and sustaining a total healthy lifestyle, including eating a whole food, plant-based diet, being physically active and engaging in mindfulness and positive psychology activities. The course offers exercises to harness personal strengths and leadership skills for improving workplace culture/systems and to engage in effective, positive health care team and patient interactions. Learners will also conduct a well-being assessment and develop a personal action plan.

Physician & Health Professional Well-being Train-the-Trainer Workshop Package Description:
