Pediatric Anesthesiology: Your Calling, But Don’t Let It Kill You

Lynette D. Charity MD

Stress, burnout, depression and suicide are decimating the physician community. According to the NIH, the rate of physicians who die by suicide is double that of the general population. This has to stop. This keynote will provide actionable steps to recognizing and preventing life-threatening burnout. Saving the lives of patients starts with saving the lives of physicians.

Learning Objectives:

• Recognize the symptoms of burnout, depression and suicidality 
• Reach out for support and get treatment if needed 
• Reconnect with passion to medicine
• Rejuvenate through random acts of humor
