Well-Being Month 2025: The Language of Being Well
February 13, 2025
These activities aim to raise awareness of burnout among healthcare professionals and present strategies for promoting resilience, which will improve practitioner health and, ultimately, patient outcomes.
This presentation discusses the relationship between language, emotional precision, and physician burnout, beginning with current statistics showing burnout rates ranging from 46% to 80.5% among physicians. The content examines how emotional agility and language precision impact physician well-being. It explores the role of storytelling in healthcare, drawing from academic literature about how stories help process experiences and create meaning. Research on organizational leadership's impact on physician burnout is presented, connecting emotional literacy, narrative competence, and leadership qualities to physician wellness outcomes in medical practice and education.

Learning Objectives
After this activity, participants will be able to:
- Recall research statistics on physician well-being, burnout, and career attrition;
