Meeting deadlines and prioritizing commitments are common challenges experienced during residency. This workshop offers residents the space to reflect on their values, priorities, and sense of control over their time during the uniquely demanding years of residency. Through an introduction to effective time-management strategies known to help busy professionals achieve higher levels of efficiency, residents are encouraged to re-assess their existing practices, re-define the concept of 鈥渢ime management鈥� during residency, set realistic goals, and consider ways of integrating room for self-care, self-compassion, and mindfulness while safeguarding their learning and clinical performance.

EVIDENCE-BASED STRATEGIES TO REDUCE SHIFT WORK FATIGUE FOR HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS

CanMEDS ROLE: PROFESSIONAL

Key Competency:

4. Demonstrate a commitment to physician health and well-being to foster optimal patient care听(4.1, 4.2, 4.3)

Shift workers often experience high levels of fatigue. This workshop gives practical and evidence-based strategies to mitigate this issue for healthcare professionals. We begin with an overview of chronobiology and its implications for shift work. We then discuss the optimal timing of strategies to reduce fatigue. These strategies include: when to get (and avoid) bright light, what and when to eat during night shifts, when and how long to nap before or during the shift, and when to exercise. Attendees will then build their own plan of their most feasible strategies to reduce fatigue.

Objectives:

1. Review the effects of working night shifts on health, fatigue, sleep, and work performance.
2. Learn techniques to increase alertness and cognitive performance during night shifts.
3. Construct a personalised plan to manage rotating shift schedules and reduce fatigue.

CONFLICT MANAGEMENT

CanMEDS ROLE: COLLABORATOR

Key Competency:

2. Work with physicians and other colleagues in the health care professions to promote understanding, manage differences, and resolve conflicts (2.1, 2.2)

CanMEDS ROLE: COMMUNICATOR

Key Competency:

1. Establish professional therapeutic relationships with patients and their families (1.1, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5)

This workshop offers a practical and theoretical approach to avoiding, reducing, and responding to conflict in the workplace. It explores some of the root causes of reactive behaviors that lead to conflict and offers training in skillful communication techniques for use in resolving conflictual situations. Participants are encouraged to expand their self-awareness in terms of their own reactivity (and of all behaviors along the spectrum of aggression) and enabled to recognize the early signs of this in others. There is an emphasis on body language and on the steps involved in non-violent communication (Rosenberg, 2005) with a focus on recognizing and resolving the unmet needs of all parties to a conflict. Participants will have an opportunity to explore these new approaches in interactive exercises, such as case studies and role-play relating to diverse conflict scenarios in the clinical setting.
