Your immune system never sleeps. Every moment of the day, immune cells monitor your body for disease, calling for backup when they detect a threat. It's a system that works elegantly — most of the time. It's not foolproof; if it were, we would never get cancer in the first place.

Physician Well-Being in Academic Medicine

Drs. Noshene Ranjbar and Mari Ricker will present the current state of physican burnout and well-being in academic medicine and concrete actions that you can take in order to improve your own well-being and that of those around you.  They will describe the risk factors for burnout, contributing factors, how to identify signs of burnout in others, and what to do if you find yourself in a state of burn out. The presentation will be interactive and you will leave with tools that you can take back to your team.
