  Description

In medicine, wellness is not the absence of distress. Dealing with emotional exhaustion, compassion fatigue, and personal distress can lead to burnout. 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.

  1. Identify factors that lead to compassion fatigue and personal distress;
