Professional Development Seminar Series

The Faculty Wellness team welcome and invite you to our professional development series. These sessions have been designed to begin to address the seven drivers of burnout as discussed in the literature including: workload and job demands, efficiency and resources, meaning in work, culture and values, control and flexibility, social support and community at work, and work-life integration. These sessions will focus on personal promotion and leadership skill development and will develop your ability and inspiration to reach for the next level or to lead with confidence from where you are now.
