The Science of Compassion in Healthcare:
A Workshop on Its Practical Application to Clinical Practice and Training
Dr. Dominic Vachon and the faculty of the Hillebrand Center for Compassionate Care in Medicine at the University of Notre Dame have developed methods for integrating the science of compassion into clinical practice, organizational culture, and training programs for practicing health professionals. Advances in the neuroscience of compassion have provided an evidence-based scientific understanding of how compassionate caring in healthcare is essential for both excellent patient care as well as clinician well-being and buffering burnout.
In this 2.5-day workshop, participants will learn the compassion science paradigm approach as a practical means to ground clinicians and staff in a time when business practices and societal conditions are deprioritizing compassionate caring and not supporting healthcare clinicians. The workshop will provide the essentials for immediately using the compassion science paradigm in your practice, your organization, or your training program. This activity has been approved for AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)™ and ANCC Contact Hours.
Special keynote talk by Dr. Tom Nasca, MD, President and CEO of ACGME.
