Open to all health sciences learners, staff, and faculty.

Join us in-person or virtually as we discuss the vital role of acknowledging grief and suffering in medical practice and education to foster a meaningful, sustainable career. We will gain insights into compassion fatigue, burnout, and disengagement, recognizing that facing challenging emotions is not a sign of weakness, but a step towards healing and post- traumatic growth. Through group discussions and practical tools, we will identify areas for personal growth and discover strategies to reengage in our work with renewed purpose.
