Stanford WellMD & WellPhD Physician Well-being Director Course: Cohort 4

Tuesday, October 4, 2022, 3:00 PM - Tuesday, November 8, 2022, 5:30 PM

The next cohort of the Physician Well-being Director Course will start on Tuesday, October 4, 2022 3:00-5:30PM Pacific Time, followed by an optional 30min networking session, and run for six consecutive Tuesdays.

The virtual six-week Physician Well-being Director Course is designed to equip and empower department/unit physician well-being leaders, chiefs, chairs, structural line leaders, medical directors, wellness committee leaders, quality improvement leaders, program improvement leaders, residency program directors, and others to be the agents of change to support physician well-being at their organizations at the local level. This course is designed as synchronous, live learning experience on Zoom with assignments and activities to complete between sessions. Each week explores a different aspect of physician occupational well-being through a combination of didactic lectures from Stanford faculty and group activities. Drawing on the research and expertise of Stanford WellMD & WellPhD faculty, the course is designed to increase the knowledge, self-efficacy, and skills of department or division-level physician occupational well-being leaders.

The course contains the following components:
Didactic presentations and panels featuring Stanford leadership and faculty who present insights from the latest research in the field, teach the Stanford Model and other key concepts, and provide context and inspiration regarding how Stanford applies this work in our own hospitals and health system.

Peer-to-peer learning in small group exercises designed to facilitate networking and comradery, to provide a focused environment to discuss course content, and to create a space for participants to practice and get feedback on ideas that could be implemented in their home organizations.

Individual participant work (prework and homework) assignments, emails, references, and resources for critical thinking and application of learnings in home organizations.
