ForwardWell-Being Month 2026: Flawed? Get to ‘Done’ and Improve Wellness by Escaping the Dangers of Perfectionism
January 28, 2026 to February 20, 2026
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.
We all want to be productive and innovative in our work, but without compromising our wellness. The problem, however, is that perfectionism causes us to get stuck in the process. It commonly sits at the core of procrastination, imposter syndrome, and patterns of toxic team dynamics. This session provides a practical roadmap for improving our performance and wellness by tackling perfectionism using evidence-based principles and strategies that will ultimately lead to improved patient care.
Target Audience
This activity is designed for physicians and other healthcare professionals at the University of Chicago and its affiliates, who are dedicated to promoting well-being in themselves and others.
Learning Objectives
After this activity, participants will be able to:
- Distinguish healthy and unhealthy expectations of others in workplace scenarios.
- Apply strategies and techniques to maintain high-quality work, reduce procrastination, and minimize the negative effects of perfectionism.
- Evaluate the impact of adapted thinking and behaviors on personal wellness and professional performance.
