The ATS Assembly on Sleep and Respiratory Neurobiology (SRN) is inviting you to attend its fifth and final session of the virtual townhall (TH) series on Sleep, Professional Burnout, Moral Injury and Wellness in Pulmonary/Critical Care & Sleep Medicine.

This session will focus on “Building Systems’ Resilience: Data-Driven Strategies to Mitigate Health Worker Burnout”, scheduled for Thursday, March 23, 3:30-5:30 PM EDT. Our speakers, experts in the field, Dr. Colin West, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN and Chia-Chia Chang MPH, MBA, The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), Office of Total Worker Health® and Healthy Work Design and Well-Being Cross-Sector Program, Washington, DC and Dr. Indira Gurubhagavatula, Division of Sleep Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia will share their perspectives on:  

1. Evidence and consensus systemic-based strategies, including optimizing sleep, aimed at mitigating burnout.  
2. Next steps in their broad implementation at organizational (employers), groups (societies, licensing boards, etc) and individual level.
3. Remaining major gaps that need to be addressed in future research.

As in the previous sessions, we anticipate a robust discussion will follow with our panelists representing several key national stakeholders and the attendees.

We use a web-based platform, which allows real-time discussion both online and by phone, making this an interactive session. Please use a landline phone or VoIP for the call. You will need to register ahead for this session in order to participate. To reserve your seat today click here. Please share this invitation with other colleagues. ATS membership is NOT a requirement to attend this very topical discussion.

We look forward to your participation in this final session of our important series!
