Conceptualizing Professional Development Through Six Dimensions of Wellness
Moderator: Richard Miller DO, FAOAO
Professional development and wellness are typically viewed as separate but necessary areas that contribute to an individual’s professional identity. Leadership in academic institutions must determine how to address these areas to build a solid foundation of professional development at all stages of one’s career. The current model proposes a framework with which to conceptualize professional development activities across six dimensions of wellness that creates a unique approach to reimagining one’s view of professional development in academic medicine.
