Healing Clinician Burnout: How to Resuscitate Your Life & Career
Burnout doesn't have to be the end of your career - it can be the catalyst for a new beginning. Hope's CPR framework provides a clear, actionable path to help clinicians heal, regain clarity, and confidently map out their next career steps - whether that means reviving your current role or recharting your path. Walk away feeling empowered, energized, and ready to breathe new life into your career.

- Identify the signs and symptoms of burnout
- Recognize the four ways the sympathetic nervous system reacts when a clinician is experiencing burnout
- List three steps a provider can take to begin healing their burnout
- Discuss the possible impact of a clinician's burnout on patient care.
