Annual Education Program: Restoring the Art of Medicine: The Power of Physician Wellness

Speakers

Program Description

More than 50 percent of US physicians report significant symptoms of burnout, and evidence indicates that this public health crisis is growing quickly. Join the Massachusetts Medical Society and our distinguished faculty as we address the issues and challenges around physician burnout and discuss ways by which we can restore physician wellness and joy of practice at our 2019 MMS Annual Education Program. Woven through the program, playwright Michael Milligan will perform a multi-layered perspective on a physician in crisis.

Shattuck Lecture & Conversation: Future of Care: A Call to Collaboration 

Moderator and Lecturer

Lecture Description

The Shattuck Lecture is sponsored by the MMS Committee on Publications and the New England Journal of Medicine. Dating back to 1890, this annual lecture is to be presented by “some suitable person or persons, of historical or other essays on the climate of said commonwealth, on the diseases of its inhabitants, and on such other subjects as the said society or its government may select.” 

Amid high anxiety about health care costs, a shifting health care landscape, and an epidemic of professional burnout, the future of care must focus on the patient. Clinicians and health care organizations must embrace patient-centered guiding principles including cross-sector teamwork to address an array of 21st-century challenges. A look into the profession’s history points to a contemporary path where providers develop rewarding careers while fulfilling a vocation of service that advances care for patients. 

The 2019 Shattuck Lecture will focus on the future of care and will be delivered by John Noseworthy, MD, president and CEO emeritus of Mayo Clinic. Dr. Noseworthy served as president and CEO from 2009 to 2018, leading one of the largest not-for-profit, academic health systems in the United States, with $12 billion in annual revenues and 68,000 employees.  Following the lecture, Jeffrey M. Drazen, MD, editor-in-chief, New England Journal of Medicine, will engage in a discussion with Dr. Noseworthy. Learning Objectives

Apply patient-centered guiding principles, including cross-section teamwork that will advance patient care in today’s challenging healthcare environment
