Hope in the Meantime
At the end of this session, attendees will be able to:
- Identify structural and cultural forces in our profession that can dissuade us from appropriate and urgent advocacy
- Examine the ways in which thoughtful advocacy can complement meaning in work – and restore our locus of control
- Implement simple cognitive reframing strategies that can rebalance both our perception of the associated risk and our capacity to deal with the consequences
Description: Healthcare is in trouble but so is the world at large. We are facing a moment that feels different than anything we have experienced so far in our lives. But what can we do about it? And with everything on our plates, can we really do more? This session will explore the complex personal and professional forces that sometimes prevent physicians from speaking up – and how we can overcome them.
