2025 ADS Pre-Conference: How to Thrive in Dentistry - Mental Health & Wellness (On-Demand)
How to Thrive in Dentistry - Mental Health & Wellness (On-Demand)
The goal of the session is to introduce burnout, resilience, and wellness measures in dentistry. Researchers have studied burnout among dental professionals throughout their careers, from students to seasoned dentists. Dentistry is an inherently stressful practice, and additional responsibilities outside of patient care can lead to more stress. Participants will learn about the key dimensions of burnout. They will also self-assess using a burnout inventory tool, strategize how to use inventories to create change in their communities, or brainstorm ways to change institutional environments to reduce stress.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
- Identify indicators for burnout and learn evidence-based strategies for building resilience.
- Describe how clinicians can beat burnout and build resilience in their teams.
- Apply and practice evidence-based coping skills to build wellness starting today!
