Rediscovering Meaning In Our Work
According to a study at Mayo Clinic published in JAMA, physicians who participated in facilitated physician discussion groups reported increased empowerment and engagement at work - and the number of participants strongly agreeing that their work was meaningful increased. In response to studies highlighting the value of ongoing physician discussion groups, we have organized a Rediscovering Meaning In Our Work physician discussion group in Boise. Each month, we explore a topic relevant to physicians. Our discussions are focused on physician well-being and meaningful work.
We meet at the Lemon Tree Company café in Downtown Boise after hours - so we have the place to ourselves. Please join us for relaxed conversations with peers and delicious food. You are welcome to participate whenever it is convenient. If you would like to join us or receive an email reminder for our meetings, please contact Dr. Deb Roman (208) 859-5055 or visit finding-health.com/discussion-group/

Schwartz Center Rounds
Schwartz Rounds are a place where people who don’t usually talk about the heart of the work are willing to share their vulnerability, to question themselves. These monthly interdisciplinary forums provide a opportunity for dialogue that does not usually happen anywhere else in the hospital.
Available at Saint Alphonsus Regional Medical Center. For more information, contact Dr. Sheila Giffen (208) 367-5229

Critical Incident Debriefing
The Critical Incident Stress Debriefing (CISD) is designed to mitigate the impact of life-threatening crises that require rescue or emergency care. These incidents evoke strong emotional responses from health care workers. The goal is to facilitate their return to routine functioning, and to prevent pathological responses to the trauma that is an inherent aspect of their profession. CISD is available at St. Luke's, Saint Alphonsus, and Family Medicine Health Center/Residency.
