Healthcare Leadership Collaborative
A Health Workforce Well-being Day event to drive change
Our health care systems are continuously evolving to meet patient needs, care models, and changing work conditions, which can provide opportunities for better care but also impose unique challenges on our health care workforce. In fact, compared to all types of workforces, our health care workers report higher levels of poor mental health days, burnout, intent to change jobs, and being harassed.
Join us and engage in interdisciplinary, cross-sector collaboration to discuss how effective leadership and culture transformation can create systems where healthcare workers thrive.
This second annual event in recognition of Health Workforce Well-being Day is hosted by:
- Johns Hopkins Carey Business School Human Capital Development Lab
- Johns Hopkins Medicine Office of Well-Being
- ALL IN: Wellbeing First for Healthcare, a coalition led by the Dr. Lorna Breen Heroes’ Foundation
We are pleased to inform you that participation in this event qualifies for up to 6 continuing education credits for Physicians, PAs, Nurses, and Psychologists through Partners for Advancing Clinical Education (PACE).
Additionally, we are pleased to provide scholarships for up to 50 students and trainees to participate in this meaningful event. If you are a student or trainee, and would like to receive a scholarship for free register, please sign up here.
