Thriving vs. Surviving During Times of Change: The Science of Enhancing Resilience


Research shows that one in three health providers suffer from severe emotional exhaustion and burnout. At the Academy this year, Dr. Bryan Sexton, Director of the Duke Patient Safety Center, will present a 2-part seminar on the science of enhancing resilience. Dr. Sexton's research on safety culture, teamwork, and resilience have resulted in assessment tools used world wide. He will discuss practical strategies to manage stress in the healthcare workplace, cope with change, and manage fatigue.

Choose from 8 workshops covering medication safety, patient engagement, infection prevention, and others.
