In an era of burnout, overwhelming demands, and mounting pressures, how we show up clinically has never mattered more. This healing Extended Learning Opportunity invites providers of all disciplines to reconnect with their values and reengage with the honor of serving in primary care. Through the lens of SEEing—Shared vulnerability, Embodied Empathy, Inquiry, Noticing exceptions, and Guiding—we’ll explore a human-centered clinical stance and learn practical strategies to bring meaning, connection, and joy back into our daily work.
