The Ethics of Burnout: Identifying and Addressing Systemic Barriers to Self-Care and Work-Life Balance in Clinical Psychology Trainees
This webinar will review the empirical literature on burnout in clinical psychology trainees and will identify the ethical imperatives for us as a field to identify and address systemic barriers to self-care by putting reasonable and universal constraints on the work load of trainees, so that no trainee is penalized for working “less” in order to sustain work-life balance. The direct negative impact of burnout in health service psychology professionals on patient care will be emphasized.
Participants will be encouraged to consider their organizational demands and expectations of trainees and to identify ways to reduce demands on trainees and continue to provide sustained excellent patient care.
There will be participant interaction and discussion.
