Resilience Week: Meaning in Medicine: The Power of Engaging with the Community We Serve

February 2, 2022
The goal of these activities is to bring awareness to the topic of burnout in healthcare professionals and present strategies to promote resilience that will improve practitioner health and ultimately patient outcomes.
 
Dr. Thomas Fisher, Jr. and Dr. Edwin K. McDonald IV have each dedicated their careers to meeting patients where they are. Their careers are an attestation to the power of engaging in the community we serve. They will share their motivation for engaging in community-based care and describe programs they oversee and participate in as well as some of the wisdom they have gained along the way. Participants also include Dr. Heather Renfro (PGY2) and Dr. Ellen Wagner (PGY4) who have both demonstrated their commitment to community engagement by participation in the GME/UHI collaborative program Community Champions which seeks to empower, connect, and support resident and fellow leaders in community engagement.
