Meaning and Purpose in Medicine: Well-being Frameworks to Promote Meaning in Medicine

Chicago, IL US
May 9, 2024
Meaning and Purpose in Medicine (MPM) aims to address the need to maintain a sense of meaning in the face of health care pressures that can cause moral distress. It does so by providing a forum where physicians can share experiences and collectively reflect on the moral and professional challenges they face in day to day practice. Invited speakers give short presentations that highlight the conditions and situations that give rise to moral distress or ethical uncertainty, discuss these and related cases with participants, and share strategies for resolving, mitigating, or circumventing the challenges posed. Through group discussion and engagement with speakers, participants will be encouraged to share perspectives on navigating morally complex situations, reflect on past successes and failures, and work through strategies to better navigate or cope with the challenges ahead.

In this talk, Dr. Andrews will describe how clinician well-being informs meaning in medicine, relate meaning in work to professional identity, and provide safeguards for maintaining meaning and well-being in professional life.
