Transitions in medical practice occur throughout the spectrum of a physician’s career and may be accompanied by major life changes including physical relocation, new financial commitments, and changing relationships with self and others as well as changes in responsibility and expectations. These can present emotional challenges and difficulties in work-life balance.
In this interactive session, learners are introduced to the “Three Stages of Transition” model and are invited to reflect on the anticipated impact of their career transition, what strategies they may have used in the past, and discuss other strategies for wellness at times of change.
