Feeling The Burn?: How To Promote Wellness and Combat Burnout – 1 CE

Activity Overview
The rate of burnout among clinicians is increasing rapidly, especially now due to COVID-19 related stressors. Managing personal wellness and moreover teaching wellness to avoid burnout is vital not only for healthcare professionals, but also for the patients they care for.
