New Challenges; New Solutions
By Wayne M. Sotile, Ph.D.
Author of: The Medical Marriage
More than ever before, contemporary physicians and their loved ones report that they feel under-appreciated by their communities.
This presentation offers a much-needed balm to this malady. It is the perfect “gift” to your medical staff and their loved ones; one that has helped countless health systems deepen physicians’ and medical families’ alignment with each other and with their organizations. With compassion and humor, clinical psychologist Wayne Sotile shares practical insights from his more than 35 years of work as a counselor to and student of medical families of all forms; from his book The Medical Marriage (considered the classic publication in the field); and from his landmark 2013 research study of medical families. Wayne has translated his lifetime work with physicians and medical families into a toolkit of practical, evidence-based strategies that distinguish those resilient medical families who manage to have it all: productive careers, medical community engagement, and thriving personal/family lives.
Presented with exquisite respect of cultural diversity, this program has touched the hearts of tens of thousands of physicians and medical families of all forms throughout the country. This is the perfect celebration of physicians and the people they love and work with.
