Physician Wellness Retreat: Supporting Joy in Medicine 

This multi-day educational retreat provides physicians with a structured opportunity to examine contributors to professional burnout and to learn evidence-informed strategies to support sustainable well-being in clinical practice. Through a combination of didactic sessions, facilitated reflection, experiential learning, and peer discussion, participants will explore the relationship between physician well-being, professional fulfillment, and quality of patient care.

The program addresses known drivers of physician distress and introduces practical approaches including mindfulness-based skills, boundary-setting frameworks, values clarification, and strategies to enhance professional alignment. Participants will develop individualized action plans designed to support ongoing behavior change after the retreat.
