InnovatorMD MasterClass: Inclusively Practicing Self-Care and Resiliency

With the rapid increase in burnout experienced by health professionals, self-care is not only a  must but a form of resiliency. The goal of the class is to highlight the importance of self-care. This concept is critical because the ability to listen to our inner voice, and build resilience and not endurance is important. Self-care is a form of joy, liberation, love, and resistance. Representing our authentic selves is vital to the human race.
