Description

Despite repeated calls for systemic solutions to physician stress, few studies have actually examined how “the system works”—ie, how structural factors intersect in real-time to create unhealthy work environments. This webinar explored how organizational-, professional-, and societal-level factors intersect to shape wellbeing and job satisfaction, based on an 8-month ethnography at an urban pediatrics clinic.

This webinar was cosponsored by HWTAC and AcademyHealth’s Health Workforce Interest Group.
