George and Fay Yee Centre for Healthcare Innovation - Creating Healthy Work Culture Through Trauma-Informed Leadership

Date: Mar 3 & 4, 2023
Time: 9:30 am - 3:30 pm
Location: Online
Series: Physician Leadership Institute (PLI) Course
Description:
The world has experienced a collective trauma through the COVID-19 pandemic. Canadian physicians were demonstrating disproportionally higher rates of burnout, depression and suicidal ideation before the pandemic: they were already a traumatized workforce. Further mental health impacts and workforce shortages are predicted among health care workers after the pandemic. Medical leaders may be unaware of the role trauma plays at the individual, team and system levels. This course develops leadership skills to foster recovery, build wellness and promote post-traumatic growth in the health care workforce. Delivered as an interactive workshop, it will facilitate a shift to a wellness-informed mindset and encourage you to apply key wellness-informed leadership practices at all levels.

Time: 9:00 am - 4:00 pm CST
Location: Online
Series: Physician Leadership Institute (PLI) Course
Description:
The culture of health care tends to view leadership as “solving problems,” but the conventional wisdom of fixing weaknesses has been shown to be limiting and ineffective in the long term. This course will help identify strengths and offer ways leaders can leverage the strengths of their people to increase work engagement, well-being and drive innovation.

It has been purposely planned as an escape from the relentless distractions of both the healthcare world and personal responsibilities.

At the end of this 6 day program, participants will:

  • Deepen their awareness of their leadership style, strengths and vulnerabilities in order to enhance personal leadership capacity.
