The Burnout Precipice: Mental Health Training & Activism

Description:

How do educators support the resilience of students in the healthcare professions, when there is a lack of systemic support for promoting this resilience? Many healthcare fields are female-dominated and underrepresented in practitioners of color, with a training environment that is female driven (while not necessarily female led) and disproportionately experiencing inequities within multiple systems. This conversation will explore how educators can change the culture that leads to burnout of students in the health professions at both the individual and systemic levels.
