ROSLYN, N.Y., Sept. 14,
2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Physicians' Reciprocal Insurers ("PRI"),
the second largest admitted medical malpractice insurer in
New York State, announced it is
hosting an education and discussion event, "Physician
Burnout: Resolving a Health Care Crisis Affecting Patients,
Physicians and Their Families," to be held tonight,
Friday Sept. 14, at the company's
headquarters in Roslyn, New York.
The featured speaker is Colin West,
MD, Ph. D., the co-director of the Mayo Clinic Department of
Medicine Physician Well-Being Program.
Dr. West is a renowned expert in physician wellness, whose work
centers on physician burnout and how to reduce its impact on
physicians and their families. His research aims to improve patient
care by promoting physician well-being and reducing physician
distress. Healthier physicians can provide better care and
communicate more effectively.
"Physician burnout continues to climb to epidemic proportions,"
said Gerri Donohue, AVP of Education
at PRI. "Because this is such a pressing issue, we opened this
event to all physicians—and their families—not just our insured
clients. Dr. West's insights will be invaluable to providing better
outcomes for physicians, reducing risks, and improving patient
safety throughout our region."
This evening's event showcases PRI's ongoing commitment to
supporting the New York medical
community. Past speakers have included Danielle Ofri, MD, Ph. D., Jo Shapiro, MD, and Pat Croskerry, MD, Ph. D.
The next event is planned for November.
Physicians in attendance will earn 1.5 AMA PRA Category 1
Credits™. For those who could not attend, a recording of the event
will be made available in the coming weeks on the pri.com
website.
