Stress can be a positive motivator. But when learner stress goes unmanaged, it can easily lead to anxiety, depression, risk of dropping out, harmful physical effects, substance abuse, and even suicide. Faculty and residents can assist medical learners in managing their stress as they learn these six support strategies.
Join us virtually as we walk through the following:
- Understand the good, bad, and necessity of stress
- Differentiate the cause and symptoms of stress, anxiety, and depression
- Address impostor phenomenon that frequently increases stress in medical learners and physician residents
- Access multiple resources to expand your capacity with all learners
