Highlights from Second Annual EM Wellness Week

Posted by Nicole Battaglioli, MD on Jan 27, 2017

The second annual Emergency Wellness Week is coming to a close. This week we featured wellness initiatives that you can use to boost wellness in your emergency department, talked about the importance of debriefing, talked to the White Coat Investor about financial wellness, and shared ways to improve wellness in just 30 minutes! Through the collaboration of ALiEM, The Wellness Think Tank, ACEP, CAEP, HippoEM, and CanadiEM- we hope that you have learned some techniques to improve your own wellness and that you will carry some of the techniques with you through the rest of the year!

We also asked you to take to twitter and share how you were celebrating Wellness Week! Check out some of the amazing things you’ve done this week.
