The Wellness Committee believes that a well anesthesia provider is one who uses healthy, adaptive, coping strategies to combat stress and fatigue in the workplace and home.  An upcoming three-part web-based program from the Institute of Healthcare Improvement (IHI) shares methods and tools to "help your workforce not only persevere but truly thrive in any environment."  Pride and Joy in Work: Thriving in Turbulent Times, an IHI WEB&ACTION offering, begins November 10.  The content provides education and skills to handle and combat stressful situations in the healthcare environment.  

Over the course of three 1½ hour web-based sessions (November 10, December 1, and December 15), "expert faculty will provide you with the evidence, research, tools, and case studies to help you create or recapture a culture of pride and joy in work.  Furthermore, you will begin to implement and test these concepts with faculty coaching during Action Periods between each session."
