Synergy Summit Description:
The Covid-19 pandemic, which began four years ago, has led to significant physical and mental burnout among healthcare workers. Despite the industry’s recovery, burnout persists due to factors such as resource shortages, insufficient education on best practices, unsustainable workloads, and a lack of support systems. Burnout can negatively impact patient care by reducing the quality of interactions between healthcare providers and patients, leading to poorer communication, loss of pertinent information, and increased likelihood of errors. This PAMF retreat offers a platform for physicians and healthcare providers to engage in educational medical activities, fostering a sense of community and belonging with the ultimate aim to improve patient care and satisfaction. A keynote address on “Transformative Care” will be featured along with various breakout sessions that will cover topics including virtual reality to reduce clinician burnout, wellbeing, cancer care, integrative medicine, narrative medicine, environmental health, and the link between fermented foods and a healthier gut microbiome. These educational activities are aimed to educate our healthcare providers and better equip them to educate their patients, empowering them with knowledge about their health conditions and treatments.
Presentation Description:
This session is designed to provide clinicians with a comprehensive understanding of the impact of environmental chemical exposures on health. Participants will begin by exploring three illnesses where environmental chemical exposures are likely to play a significant role. This foundational knowledge will help clinicians recognize and address these environmental factors in their practice. The session will then focus on practical strategies to reduce environmental toxin exposures. Clinicians will learn to recommend two effective strategies to their patients for minimizing toxin exposures in food, promoting healthier dietary choices and reducing the risk of toxin-related illnesses. Additionally, participants will gain insights into strategies for reducing environmental toxin exposures from consumer products. By understanding the sources and risks associated with everyday products, clinicians will be better equipped to advise their patients on safer alternatives and practices.
