Medical Families: New Challenges; New Solutions For Thriving Through Crisis

Join us for Enhancing Well-Being and Mental Health in a Values-Driven Organization presented by Wayne M. Sotile, PhD.

More than ever before, contemporary medical professionals and their loved ones report that they feel under-appreciated by their communities and caught between commitment to family and their concerns about their patients, their colleagues and their own well-being. This presentation offers a much-needed balm to this malady. Join us in this session for physicians and medical families to learn the coping challenges and solutions that come when your family patterns are turned upside-down. This is a session that applies to managing any important relationships in your life.

With compassion and humor, clinical psychologist Wayne Sotile shares practical insights from his more than 40 years of work as a consultant to medical organizations and a counselor to and student of thousands of medical families of all forms. Dr. Sotile conveys deep insights from his book The Medical Marriage (considered a classic publication in the field) and shares findings from numerous, peer-reviewed publications regarding contemporary medical families. Wayne has translated his lifetime of work with medical professionals and their families into a toolkit of practical, evidence-based strategies that distinguish those who manage to have it all: productive careers, medical group and medical community engagement and thriving personal/family lives.
