Webinar | December 16 at 11 am CT
See the KNN Framework in Action through the story of the Teaching with CARE (Compassion, Attentiveness, Responsiveness, and Equity) project in the Department of Surgery at the College of Human Medicine at Michigan State University. In this 50-minute session, Dr. Randi Stanulis will demonstrate how she utilizes the KNN’s Framework for Flourishing as the foundation for developing CARE as a model for training faculty in becoming exemplars for flourishing in medicine. Her work continues to combine CARE concepts with a flourishing-focused lens to improve the surgical residency experience and shift narratives in surgery residency towards flourishing. She will share the origin of her project and the lessons learned so far. In this session you will gain practical insights and ideas you can consider applying in your own setting.
