Doctors are trained to care deeply for other people - but what about the impact this has on wellbeing? Repeated exposure to other people's trauma, suffering and high stakes decision making can take a toll on your own mental health and patient care. 

This evidence based and practical course teaches us the internal and external signs and symptoms of compassion fatigue, burnout and vicarious trauma and what strategies we can apply to protect our own mental health.
