Meet the 2025 Fall Conference Workshop Facilitator:

Terry Wu, Ph.D. in Neuroscience

Thursday Keynote Session: 

Breaking the Leadership-Stress Vicious Cycle with Neuroscience

Thursday, September 25

Are your teams struggling with unprecedented burnout and turnover? Have traditional wellness initiatives and self-care programs failed to address the crisis affecting patient care and staff retention?

In this groundbreaking, Neuroscience-powered workshop, Dr. Wu uncovers the intricate relationship between leadership, stress, and burnout. He reveals how poor leadership creates chronic stress, and how chronic stress causes poor leadership, forming a vicious cycle in healthcare environments.

Built on a new, original framework that distills more
than eight decades of scientific research, Dr. Wu’s workshop provides healthcare leaders with impactful strategies and science-proven tools to mitigate work and life stressors, both
for themselves and their teams. In healthcare, where doctor and staff stress directly impacts patient safety and care quality, recognizing the role of leadership in creating or preventing chronic stress is critical.

Rather than asking exhausted doctors and staff to tolerate more stress, leaders gain science-proven tools to tackle the root causes affecting their teams. They will emerge with solid skills for navigating the unique pressures of healthcare, creating environments where everyone not only survives but thrives.

Educational Learning Objectives:

  • Explore how healthcare leadership directly impacts doctor and staff stress and patient outcomes.
