Webinar: Physician Wellness – How To Achieve It & When To Know You Are Unwell

This month’s live Zoom webinar features NAMI Louisiana’s Advocacy and Media Manager Tatiana Gonzalez Quiroga, who discusses how to identify physician burnout and its contributing risk factors. She also offers solutions for restructuring the healthcare system to better support frontline workers.

OVERVIEW

Physicians go through years of education to learn how to keep others well.

Unfortunately, there are times when physicians themselves become unwell due to a high-stress environment, overwork, organizational failures, and more. Physician burnout is a growing concern as more and more doctors become emotionally exhausted, face depersonalization, and feel a low sense of self-accomplishment and fulfillment. The COVID-19 pandemic has brought physician burnout to the forefront.

In this webinar, NAMI Louisiana’s Advocacy and Media Manager Tatiana Gonzalez Quiroga discusses how to identify physician burnout, contributing risk factors, and the impact of COVID-19. She then offers solutions to restructure the healthcare system to better support frontline workers.
