• Physician Health First®: The Power in Your Personal Narrative: Realizing Your Vision of Well-being

    Free Online CME

    Burnout is skyrocketing among family physicians—and it’s especially true for residents and physicians new to practice. When we share our stories of burnout and resiliency, we do more than connect with the very people who understand what we’re experiencing. We also build a pathway to better well-being for ourselves, our teams, and even our communities.

    Join James MacDonald, MD, MPH, FAAFP and Lauren Brown-Berchtold, MD, FAAFP as they explore the power of your personal narrative.

    This on-demand activity is free.
