The Cancer Support Community is pleased to invite you to join us on June 24 from 4-5 pm EST for the sixth session in a series called What’s In Your First Aid Kit? Resources and Tools to Help You Survive and Thrive.
What do you do as a clinician when the right choice is different than what you are being asked or required to do -or different than what you see going on around you? During this session we will focus on moral distress, a phenomenon that nearly all clinicians will face at some point in our careers and that has been heightened during the COVID-19 pandemic. We will identify how moral distress affects our ability to deliver compassionate care. We then will discuss practical, relevant strategies for sustaining professional stamina and wellbeing of ourselves and our teams in the setting of ethically complex situations.
This is a non-credit education for personal enrichment.
