Wellness Centers
With higher rates of stress, burnout, anxiety, and other mental health conditions, wellness centers, are a priority for schools and hospitals. LAS has always prioritized wellness and mental health since it began on a university campus with a major medical center, 30 years ago.
LAS Founder, Loren Deutsch is a licensed clinical social worker and educational therapist. She designed the LAS Medical Coaching Model due to a culture of silence around mental health and a lack of diversity and representation in medical education.
Below are recent titles of groups and workshops that LAS designed for current Wellness Centers:
- “Contending with Burnout in Medical Education”
- “Personal Wellbeing for Residents”
- “Remediation and ‘Pre-mediation’ in Medical Education”
- “Dealing with Failure”
- “Essential Ingredients for High-Stakes Exam Prep: A Research-Based Approach for Learning”
Students, residents, and early career physicians experience emotional fatigue and burnout at rates much higher than the general public.
