Webinar: Slow the Burn: How Mindset, Creativity and the Artistic Process Can Fight Burnout & Boost Resilience

When: Wednesday, November 1, 2023 | 8:00pm - 9:00pm ET

Burnout and attrition of physical therapists and physical therapist assistants is rising, especially in the aftermath of a world-changing global pandemic. Many strategies are used to address these issues, but in our science-based profession, one area is often overlooked. Arts and humanities can be integral in developing increased resilience and satisfaction in our professional lives. It may be the missing link in fulfilling those needs and mitigating burnout. This webinar will explore mindset and creativity as tools to fight burnout and improve life-work flow. Participants will leave restored and ready to expand their own self-care strategies as well as improve therapeutic alliance and patient care. 

Learning Objectives:
Upon completion of this session, attendees will be able to:

1. Describe the use of mindset, creativity, and lateral thinking as tools to improve resilience and increase satisfaction within work in healthcare.
