Healthcare workers experience one of the highest burnout rates of all professions. In the face of complex regulatory requirements, productivity demands, and advances in technology it is increasingly difficult to stay connected to what gives our work its deepest meaning. For healthcare professionals who are one step removed from patient care, it can be equally challenging--albeit for different reasons. Our panel will share their unique “behind the scene” perspective on finding meaning in their work and invite all participants to share strategies for renewing a commitment to NM’s Patient First mission.

Schwartz Center Rounds® is a multidisciplinary forum where caregivers discuss difficult emotional and social issues that arise in caring for patients.
