This activity explores consequences such as self-doubt, fear, anxiety, and guilt. It addresses these feelings’ components and what can happen if not dealt with constructively. An integral part of overcoming distress is to develop coping strategies and have access to educational resources for physicians, residents, and medical students.

Identify factors that lead to compassion fatigue and personal distress;

Classify resources and coping strategies for students, residents, and physicians related to stressful events.
