A groundbreaking program to help clinicians and institutions in the wake of a prolonged pandemic.
According to The National Institutes of Health, more than half of physicians and more than a third of nurses experience burnout symptoms. And the results can be devastating: diminished patient care, employee retention and medical errors are all tied to burnout. The Thriving Clinician is based on the true stories of hospital clinicians. This isn’t another “just do more yoga” wellness message. The Thriving Clinician tackles difficult topics and promotes a mutually supportive medical culture so that every clinician can thrive.
The AAFP has reviewed The Thriving Clinician and deemed it acceptable for up to 2.00 Enduring Materials, Self-Study AAFP Elective credits. Term of Approval is from 11/30/2022 to 11/30/2023. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.
