Physicians are working in a high pressure, complex, demanding medical environment which is causing increasing levels of dissatisfaction, stress, and burnout which can negatively affect their attitudes and behaviors toward patient care. In an effort to help physicians better adjust to today’s health care environment organizations need to gain a better understanding of what physicians think and provide appropriate logistical and behavioral resources and support to help them succeed. Physicians need to gain a better understanding of the consequences of stress and burnout and be willing to allow others to help provide the motivation and support to improve physician satisfaction, engagement, and overall physician well- being.
Desired Outcomes:
Gain insight into the causes and consequences of high stress and burnout
Employ organizational and individual strategies designed to reduce stress and improve satisfaction
Navigate barriers impeding individual action
Manage improving physician well- being and engagement

Antimicrobial resistance is a global threat to human health regardless of age or geography, and the most rapidly modifiable cause for antimicrobial resistance is antimicrobial use. In the United States, 1287 antibiotic prescriptions are written for every 1000 children 0 to 2 years of age annually, up to half of which are inappropriately prescribed or completely unnecessary. Antimicrobial exposure is not benign and may result in far-reaching and lifelong ramifications for child health and development, including risks of adverse drug events, Clostridium difficile infection, and long-term risks for developing obesity.
Desired Outcomes:
Recognize the problem of resistance
Describe how antibiotic use affects resistance
Assess the impact of prudent antibiotic use
Recite the components of the Antimicrobial Stewardship program

The landscape of trauma surgery is changing, in part due to non-operative management of solid organ injuries, and the use of endovascular and interventional techniques. Furthermore, training models are shifting to include the care of critically ill and Emergency General Surgery (EGS) patients. With the field rapidly evolving, we will review the tools and skills required to keep pace with current advancements.
Desired Outcomes:
Review the expanding use of minimally invasive techniques in trauma (ultrasound, interventional radiology, REBOA).
Breakdown the clinical and healthcare cost burden of trauma and EGS.
Determine the future role of the trauma surgeon as an Acute Care Surgeon (EGS and trauma and critical care).
