Optimizing Professional Performance

From Surviving to Thriving

  • Are your relationships with patients or coworkers strained or difficult?

  • Are you overwhelmed, frustrated, or undermined by forces such as EMR, staffing shortages, bullying, office politics, mergers, or finances, and your feelings manifest in unprofessional attitudes or behaviors?

  • Are you looking for skills to help you cope and succeed in today’s challenging healthcare environment and improve your interactions with others?

Description: This longitudinal program is focused on (1) recognizing disruptive behaviors and interactions that undermine workplace culture and teamwork and (2) building coping, communication, and teamwork skills that empower physicians to thrive in today’s tumultuous health care landscape.
