Moving From Post-COVID Organizational Unwellness to Wellness
Wednesday | 1:30-2:30 p.m.
Location: Room 253, BCEC
Faculty: Rita A. Manfredi-Shutler, MD, FACEP; Tracy G. Sanson, MD, FACEP
The coronavirus pandemic has moved us to a different place in the quest for emergency physician (EP) wellbeing. This pandemic has exposed the fragile infrastructure of what organizations are attempting to do to improve physician professional satisfaction and laid bare the presence of moral injury. Clearly, the organization and system determine the bulk of an EP’s wellbeing. More yoga or meditation will not cure the moral injury that physicians experience every day. So, the antidote for our leaders at the national, institutional, and departmental level is to step in with system innovations which impact the EPs working in the trenches. Initiatives at both the work unit level and the administrative leadership levels—some successful and some not - will be discussed. The presentation will focus on knowledge and skills needed for innovative programmatic and organizational advances in wellbeing. The speakers will also identify exemplary interventions a department or organization can implement to promote longevity, increase professional satisfaction, and recruit and retain clinicians.
