Not only did I have an amazing time networking and learning at #acph2021 , we spent a lot of time outdoors, hiking and taking in the beauty around us. Time change aside, I left feeling renewed. #acph21 #az

#acph21 a full conf of vaccinated masked and socially distanced physicians. Good to have some human contact.

“When we lose our values, we lose our way.” -Dr. Vivek Murthy. Thank you Vivek Murthy for your inspirational words, humility and humanity this morning. #ACPH21

I had the opportunity to present this week at #ACPH21 I was inspired to be surrounded by individuals passionate about improving the well being of physicians. A take away I would like to share with my friends in medicine: “Our professional culture is ours to change” -Kirk Brower

Learning to diffuse dissenting mindset and redirecting towards the collective team goal helps move change forward. #acph21

Physician Wellbeing 2.0: Dr Tait Shanafelt discusses where we are now, and where we are going. Excited to have collective dialogue around where we can go with wellbeing! #ACPH21

Another great morning for the #acph21 conference. Looking forward to hearing Dr. Jillian Horton closing keynote “We are not all perfectly fine” #physician #wellbeing

How do we cultivate empathy? Dr. Jillian Horton shares that “well-crafted stories have pro-social impact.” It’s true, in order for mutual understanding, there needs to be honest and transparent experiences shared and a willingness to receive/hear it. #acph21

Physicians don’t need more mindfulness & emotional intelligence training. BUT, “Focused attention & emotional self regulation practices can help achieve system change b/c they change & fortify us so we can survive long enough to change things for others.”Dr. Jillian Horton #ACPH21

I really enjoyed presenting with my amazing Mount Sinai Health System colleagues about acute and long-term staff support efforts at #ACPH21 .

To MD wellness leaders: ‘This is very difficult work. we have a front row seat to the distress of our colleagues.’ We are criticized: ‘you are not fixing it fast enough.’ Tait Shanafelt: Ignore the critics. It is not your job to fix EVERYTHING. Encourage each other. #acph21

We have front-row seats to the suffering of our colleagues--An emotional burden we carry. We face skepticism that this is lip service that nothing will ever change

It's not your job to fix everything. Don't take that on your shoulders. It's too much

#ACPH21 #wellbeing #burnout

A quote form Dr Christine Cassel during closing plenary session at #ACPH21 . Burnout is a condition of the workplace, not a psychiatric diagnosis!

“Burnout and Depression are completely independent constructs.” While they can be associated, they are not the same. Depression leads to suicidal ideation (Burnout does not). Burnout leads to medical errors (Depression does not). #ACPH21

Well-being 2.0 has moved us from a professional culture of blame to a culture of vulnerability. Tait Shanafelt. #acph21
