Launched in 2019, the Joy in Medicine Health System Recognition Program provides a roadmap for health system leaders to implement programs, policies, and workflow efficiencies that support physician well-being and enhance joy in medicine. This program is designed to empower health systems to strategically and systematically reduce burnout so that physicians—and their patients—can thrive. In this webinar, AMA staff shares the intentions, goals, and logistics of the program with health systems interested in applying to the 2024 program.

In challenging times, stress and anxiety can become overwhelming, especially when combined with decreased social connection. Research on mindfulness, however, tells us that we already have the resources and fundamental capacities to transform the kind of toxic stress that we may be facing, and we can do so in part by developing a different relationship with the kinds of thoughts that produce negative stress. In this talk, we learn about how certain forms of stress arise from our thoughts, and how simple mindfulness practices can prove helpful. We will also examine the relationship between social connectivity and our ability to manage stress, and how the style of awareness cultivated through mindfulness practices can enhance our sense of social connection.

Novel medical technologies are being introduced at unprecedented rates, demanding scientific evidence of their safety and efficacy at an unprecedented pace to ensure patient safety and benefit. With success in both in-vitro/in-vivo studies, products are tested on clinical trials assessing use in humans. Predicting low-frequency side effects has been difficult because such side effects may not become apparent until many patients adopt the treatment. When medical devices fail at later stages, financial losses can be catastrophic. Testing on many people is costly, lengthy, and sometimes implausible (e.g., paediatric patients, rare diseases, and underrepresented or hard-to-reach ethnic groups).

One of the most difficult experiences of dealing with addiction in your family is dealing with your own anxiety. We know that anxiety flows through systems like electricity flows through a circuit. It’s contagious, free floating, and it has to land somewhere. If we can work on befriending our own anxiety and regulating our own nervous system, then we put “circuit breakers” into the family system and we invite that in our family members as well. We truly do have power in our family systems just not the way we may have thought. Learning how to be in a healthier relationship to our own anxiety is perhaps the most important things that we can do for our whole families recovery. Who Should Attend this Program? Any family member who has been impacted by a loved one’s substance use disorder will benefit from participating in this webinar. Please note: if you cannot attend the webinar live, please register to receive the recording. Also, this event is Eastern Standard Time.
