Closing Keynote: A fine balance – achieving
work-life harmony
Dr Mamta Gautam, Assistant Professor, Department of
Psychiatry, University of Ottawa
Stress in an inherent factor
in a doctors’ life. Using a biopsychosocial
approach, Professor Gautam will outline the main causes of stress in medicine.
The number one cause of stress, and the number one solution to
deal with it, will be revealed. The
very traits that enable doctors to excel also make us more susceptible
to stress: an essential component of success is the skill to attain balance
in our personal and professional lives.
Balancing our lives is all about setting priorities and making
choices. Using rich clinical vignettes, Professor Gautam
will offer general approaches to achieving work-life harmony, as well
as specific strategies to assist in achieving this balance.
