Description:
The impact and rates of physician burnout are sobering. At the 2017 Annual Meeting, Dr. Tait Shanafelt presented data indicating that substantial contributors include the EHR and system-based issues, rather than simply personal resilience. SGO members are actively seeking opportunities to prevent, recognize, and manage the stressors associated with a career in gynecologic oncology, including learning how to approach changing the system.

Course participants will have the opportunity to learn “best practices” from innovative systems/practice settings, and how to advocate for wellness at a systems-based level.
