Description

Burnout, turnover, and provider shortages continue to define the healthcare landscape, fueling an ironic cycle that only deepens this reality. This workshop is designed to help healthcare workers feel more engaged by reconnecting them with the values that drew them to this field in the first place. In addition to completing value clarification exercises, attendees will gain evidence-based, practical strategies to intentionally engineer both their professional and personal lives for greater fulfillment. Participants will leave feeling energized, grounded, and deeply connected to the profound honor of working in healthcare’s sacred spaces.
