Happy Doc Summer Camp
Personal and Workplace Wellness CME
We called our first program "Happy Doc Summer Camp" but everyone is welcome! Modern medicine is a team sport, and we are all working toward the best patient outcomes, and the best work environment for all of us. We are super casual, everyone is on a first-name basis, and we are here to help support and learn from each other. In the past we've had nurses, medics, veterinarians - even a practice administrator whose stated goal was "I want to keep my docs happy."
At the core of Happy Doc Summer Camp are high-quality, interactive personal and workplace wellness CME 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 as well - optimal personal wellness can't exist in a toxic work environment.
All of our CME programs are approved for AMA Category 1 CME, which can be used to meet CME and state licensing requirements for US-based physicians. For nurses, physical, occupational, or respiratory therapists, psychologists, EMT's, paramedics, and other healthcare professionals these credits usually are applicable as well (consult your state licensing board or healthcare facility).
No matter where Angels of Hippocrates/Happy Doc Summer Camp goes, we also want to have fun! We discuss weighty topics for part of the day (usually the morning) and then take the afternoon to enjoy the natural beauty of wherever our program takes us. Whether it's a summer camp in the Poconos, the base of Mt Rainier, or the Hawaiian Islands, we know that experiencing new places and activities - be it on our own, with our families, or as a group - helps relieve stress and give us a fresh perspective. No one wants to sit in a stuffy meeting room for eight hours and talk about wellness.
Our CME programs are action and results oriented. We don't discuss causes of burnout - we work on fixing it! You'll leave with assessment tools and an action plan for when you get back to your workplace.
