Happy Doc Summer Camp
Personal and Workplace Wellness CME
Happy Doc Summer Camp provides personal and workplace wellness programs. While mindfulness and other personal wellness disciplines ground us and allow us to endure short-term stress, we strongly believe that preventing burnout means changing the workplace, too.
Our CME programs are action-oriented, and our wellness retreat facilitators will keep you engaged and moving! We discuss causes of burnout, and strategies for change to improve your personal and work life.
Happy Doc Summer Camp is one of Angels of Hippocrates' Flagship programs.
