Creativity as an Outlet for Improving Physician Satisfaction

Physicians continue to experience working long hours, often bringing work duties home that replace time that could be spent on relaxation, recharging, self-development, and growth. While we often consider vacations and spa days as key parts of a thriving self-care plan, they don’t always lead to sustained fulfillment. This session challenges participants to consider creative outlets as part of their self-care plan as we strive to improve physician quality of life. The session will cover tips for initiating and maintaining these activities as well as the potential roadblocks that may be encountered. It will also provide tips on the development of an individualized self-care plan.
