Mindfulness can help you deal with the high stress of working in health care.
Health-care providers report high levels of stress that have been linked to burnout. Stress and job dissatisfaction is costly for health-care providers, their patients, and their families. This eight-week course combines Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (Segal, Z. et al.), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Brief Solution Focused Therapy (BSFT) techniques to help physicians manage the daily stressful events that arise in both their professional and personal lives.
Participants will learn practical stress management skills and be introduced to the clinical applications of mindfulness.
This course has been sponsored by the OMA Physician Health Program and the Ontario HIV Treatment Network. It has been also been accredited by the Ontario College of Family Physicians for 13 Mainpro-C credits.
