- Abstract
Program Description: One of the most common problems many physicians struggle with is maintaining work‐life balance. As physicians, we all face extraordinary demands on our time and need to learn how to balance the demands of our careers and family, while also allowing time to cultivate personal interests. Dealing with all of these demands creates stress for both physicians and their families. During this interactive miniseminar, practical techniques and pearls regarding time management and work‐life balance will be shared by fellow otolaryngologists. The panel will include both private and academic otolaryngologists who manage busy practices and make substantial contributions to their institutions and specialty societies, while maintaining strong relationships with their friends and families and pursuing interests outside of medicine. Educational Objectives: 1) Identify obstacles to work‐life balance and achieving personal and professional goals. 2) Develop time management and efficient communication skills at work such as how to organize your schedule, control the pace of patient encounters, and trim work flow. 3) Streamline personal errands and chores to maximize time spent with family and interests.
