In this session, Dr. Jan Chozen Bays shares her decades of experience as a pediatrician with a specialty in the evaluation of children for abuse and neglect, and as a Zen teacher, mother, and wife. Chozen will address burnout in caregiving professions and ways to rekindle purpose, passion, and connection to one's inner life, using simple mindfulness practices and "rescue remedies" tailored to health care professionals.
