This half-day faculty and staff development program is dedicated to addressing the physical and mental well-being of physicians in training. Here are just a couple of presentations we would like to highlight this week:
 Identification & Intervention of At Risk Trainees
Presented by:
Ulrick Vieux, D.O., M.S., Director, Psychiatry Residency Program, Orange Regional Medical Center
A survey conducted by investigators at the University of North Carolina showed that approximately 70% of residents met criteria for burnout. When symptoms such as anxiety, insomnia, or depression go unaddressed, physician burnout and risk of suicide can increase. Come listen to Dr. Vieux address this important issue by identifying key factors that lead to resident burnout and approaches to recognizing residents at risk.
Sexual Harassment in Medical Training
Presented by:
Andrew L. Zwerling, Partner & Director, Garfunkel Wild P.C.,
& Marianne Monroy, Partner, Garfunkel Wild P.C.
As sexual harassment cases are appearing more frequently in the news among different work environments, it is important to address this issue as it pertains to those in the medical profession. We are delighted to have two partners from the Garfunkel Wild law firm who will review the legal aspects of what constitutes sexual harassment, its potential impact on trainees, and how to foster a healthy and safe learning environment for them.
This program is open to ALL faculty, staff, administrators, interns, residents, and fellows. The $97.00 fee will be waived of NYCOMEC member institutions.
AOA CME Credit Available.
