A Framework for Work Life Integration

Department of Medicine, Culture & Inclusion Faculty Development Sessions 2024-25

Session Overview:
*Mothers who are also physicians face unique challenges to thriving. Burnout is the norm. Work-life balance/integration remains elusive. This experiential workshop aims to share a simple yet powerful framework for those seeking meaningful work-life integration from the lens of a former burnt-out mother-doctor, now life coach. This event is open to all faculty and medical trainees.

*can refer to anyone who identifies with a primary caregiving role 

Objectives:

• Explore the allure of "having it all" (and how that gets in the way of your dream work-life integration)
• Share a clear framework to decide what stays, what goes, and how this approach will unlock your most powerful life success yet...
