Closing Plenary: Creating a Safer, Kinder Healthcare System: Addressing Moral Injury Together

This session will highlight the data behind moral injury but is designed to empower doctors and nurses to leverage their power to create change. Drs. Wendy Dean and Kathleen Reeves will discuss the history of moral injury with recognition that although it is likely inevitable to experience it over the course of a healthcare career, there are tangible tools and resources available to begin to provide solutions and facilitate change. To foster healthy personal and professional identity, and to create a healthcare environment that is kind, safe, and trustworthy for our patients we must be reminded to approach the topic of moral injury with a sense of agency and urgency.
