[geriecho] Non-ECHO Healthcare Transformation Grand Rounds Opportunity!

[Deidre Keefe]

Hello,

While we are all quiet on the ECHO front this week I was asked to share another great opportunity with you.  Many of these speakers have been presenters in our ECHOs and they are certainly speaking on a needed topic.  The session is this Thursday and pre-registration is required.  Please read below for all of the details.

Thanks!
Deidre

Upstate University Hospital will host a virtual Healthcare Transformation Grand Rounds presentation entitled “Physician Suicide:  Reconceptualizing “Do No Harm” on Thursday, September 15, from 5:30 pm – 7 pm.  This is a repeat of the program given in May 2022.  However, this time it is being held in the evening so those who are not available during the day can attend.  All professions and specialties are invited.

The presentation will include a showing of the film “Do No Harm” followed by a panel discussion featuring:


  *   Annemarie Cristino, LCSW, CEAP – Employee Assistant Program Coordinator
  *   Leslie Kohman, MD, FACS – Chief Wellness Officer
  *   Seethalakshmi Ramanathan, MD, MPA – Associate Professor, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences
  *   Thomas Schwartz, MD – Chair, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences
  *   Holly Vanderhoff, PhD – Associate Professor, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences

In the United States, the rate of suicide among physicians is higher than the general population.  It is estimated that 300-400 physicians die by suicide every year.  Despite the high prevalence of suicide, mental illness and suicide among physicians and healthcare workers remain under-recognized.

At the conclusion of this presentation, participants will be able to:

  *   Recognize the prevalence of suicide risk among current and future physicians.
  *   Describe the risk factors for suicidal crises among physicians.
  *   Discuss mitigation strategies and local resources that are available for physicians experiencing mental health problems.

CME credits are being offered.  Advance registration is required:
