Ethical decision-making will be examined through the lens of self-reflective practices. Resources for navigating compassion fatigue and burnout will be provided.

    "Discussing the external factors in the social context of ethical decision making was beneficial. I liked the burnout information and compassion fatigue - confirming that these are a real thing and not related to the person but the reflection on the culture/society as a whole." E.S. (May. 2023)

    "Learning how to apply ethical decisions in my practice. I liked how well presenter explained everything throughout this course." B.F. (May. 2023)

    "General steps in the decision-making process were beneficial. Liked how course addressed the impact burnout could contribute to reduced capacity to make poor ethical judgments." D.W. (Apr. 2023)

    "I think the acknowledgment of burnout in itself is immensely helpful. We DO live in a society that values work and efficiency, and we often lack acknowledgment of the emotional fatigue and burnout that can occur even when we love our jobs!

Burnout and compassion fatigue are real topics and, if not considered for resolution, will affect how we interact with our patients and coworkers and affect contentment in our current employment.
