Mark Greenawald, MD, explores the habit of gratitude

Webinar (series)
Dec 16 - 17, 2020
Virtual

On Dec. 16 and 17, 2020, the AMA held two webinars in the Emerging Topics in Professional Satisfaction and Practice Sustainability series: "The Habit of Gratitude: Being Positively Contagious" (Dec. 16) and "The Habit of Gratitude: Being Positively Contagious—Evening Session" (Dec. 17).

STEPS Forward webinar series

Research has shown that having a grateful outlook can enhance an individual’s psychological as well as physical well-being. Additionally, this positive outlook can precipitate the phenomenon of “positive contagion” within an organization, and therefore gratitude becomes a health care leadership imperative, particularly in our presently challenging times. 

This presentation, designed to be both reflective as well as interactive, will help participants consider how to integrate the habit of gratitude more into their own lives as well as bring that same habit to their organizational cultures.
