Remembering Your "Why"

Course Description

The ability to communicate well and form trusting relationships with patients and staff are the keys to success in medicine. Yet, the increasing challenges placed on healthcare professionals have caused many physicians and nurses to become more task oriented than patient oriented, forgetting why they became physicians in the first place. This has led to record job dissatisfaction, physician burnout and staff turnover. In this engaging lecture, Dr. Orsini discusses how physicians and healthcare professionals can improve patient satisfaction, clinical outcomes, and their own well-being by creating a culture that encourages strong relationships with patients and fellow team members. Described as inspirational, this presentation will inject new enthusiasm into anyone involved in the care of patients and staff and remind them why they chose medicine in the first place.
