Event Overview:

Join us at the 2025 JIMI Symposium, where we will explore the transformative power of connection in enhancing professional fulfillment among clinicians and healthcare teams. This year's theme, "The Power of We: Cultivating Connection to Enhance Professional Fulfillment," focuses on advancing the science of professional well-being through evidence-based practices that promote efficiency, resilience, and a culture of wellness.

Key Topics:

  • Efficiency of Practice: Learn strategies to streamline clinical workflows, reduce administrative burdens, and optimize the use of electronic health records (EHRs) to enhance patient-centered care and job satisfaction.
  • Personal Resilience: Discover evidence-based techniques for managing work-related stress and building resilience, leading to improved mental health and job performance.
  • Culture of Wellness: Understand the importance of a supportive workplace culture and how to foster an environment that actively promotes professional wellness within a healthcare landscape.

Why Attend?

Clinicians and healthcare leaders today face numerous challenges, including administrative inefficiencies, significant stress levels, and the need for greater organizational support for wellness. This symposium aims to bridge these gaps by providing actionable strategies and the latest evidence-based practices to enrich professional lives. Attendees will gain insights into creating systems that support optimal practice behaviors, ultimately leading to better patient outcomes and increased professional well-being.
