It's OK to Not Be OK: What to Consider When Facing Unexpected Challenges in Your Academic Career
When the unexpected happens in life - from the death of a loved one to divorce or personal illness - our worlds often get turned upside down. As academic EM physicians, our jobs, careers, and personal lives are immediately impacted and for many, these events may be isolating and fear of the unknown may take center stage. In this webinar our panelists will be discussing some of the impacts that these life changing events have had and how they've learned from their experiences. The goal is to innovate in providing future support to AWAEM members so we "thrive and not just survive"
