Webinars
ACFP Thursday Evening Webinars Return this September
The ACFP’s Thursday Evening Webinar series is back and better than ever.
This fall, we’re introducing a refreshed format designed to deepen your learning experience. The series will feature themed topics, delivered across connected sessions. This intentional structure gives you the space to build on concepts from each session, reflect on your learning, and apply new insights directly within your clinical practice, all before the next session begins.
Expect more than a traditional presentation. Sessions will incorporate dynamic educational components including workshops, small group discussions, individual reflection activities, assessments, and/or case-based learning designed to support real-world knowledge translation. The series kicks off with a session on:
“Burnout: The Slow Leak or the Sudden Crash” presented by: Dr. Florence Obinayor
7:00-8:30 PM (MT) | Thursday, September 24
At the conclusion of this activity, participants will be able to:
- Identify personal and professional signs of burnout through reflection and discussion of case-based scenarios.
- Apply burnout assessment tools to evaluate well-being and develop practical strategies to support resilience and recovery.
- Collaborate in developing supportive and sustainable return-to-work approaches for physicians recovering from burnout.
