Description:
Burnout is ubiquitous in all aspects of health care, but telemental health has its own unique challenges. Technology allows us to rapidly connect with patients anywhere in the country, and yet technology also can, paradoxically, isolate us (working from home, without colleagues), emotionally distance us from others (limiting emotional and non-verbal communication), and make us more sedentary and disconnected from our bodies. This talk will explore ways of mitigating telemental health burnout through enhancing human connection with ourselves and with patients.
