Take Care of Yourself: Burnout, Trauma, and Well-Being for Health Care Providers
Live Webinar
1-2:30 PM CST | December 12, 2024
Credit: 1.5 contact hours | Topic Designator: 04 – Pharmacy Administration
Because of the high demand and stress they experience, health care providers are more susceptible to burnout compared to the general population. This is understandable, as health care providers often witness their patients’ suffering and frequently lack full control over their working conditions and personal safety. Research indicates that health care team members, including pharmacists, are more likely to make errors when under pressure. This is particularly concerning given that medical errors rank as the third leading cause of death in the United States, following cardiovascular disease and cancer. During this webinar, attendees will learn from an expert in workplace well-being and trauma-informed care about workplace burnout, trauma, and provider well-being.
Please note that the webinar capacity is 1,000 participants; registration does not guarantee entry. Those who are unable to join the meeting may purchase the webinar recording that will be posted online when it becomes available.
