Physician and Nurse Leader burnout is a public health crisis that demands action across the entire healthcare ecosystem. Burnout not only affects clinicians, but also the patients they serve. At the Physician Burnout Symposium, we will gather thought leaders and stakeholders for an annual two-day conference to address the multiple facets of burnout, such as time constraints, technology, and regulations. Attendees will gain actionable solutions to implement within their health system. In conjunction with the Sharp Index, this Symposium is dedicated to improving Physician and Nurse well-being.

Telehealth Unlocked will give healthcare professionals the chance to hear from executives, clinicians, and technology leaders focused on improving the clinical process for patients and developing a long-term strategy for expanding the use of telehealth across the continuum of care. In live and on-demand sessions, presenters will address topics such as providing equitable access to care, partnering with executive leadership to foster program growth, and preparing to address potential regulatory and legal uncertainties.
