What You Are Experiencing is Real
Despite burgeoning research and practice in Positive Psychology (aka, the science of well-being) since the field's inception in 1998, the notion of human flourishing or thriving is still mostly absent from mainstream medical practice. Whereas the "medical model" emphasizes disease treatment and prevention, Positive Medicine aims to cultivate a state of complete health and whole-person well-being. Whether you are a clinician, patient, or caregiver, founder of the emerging field of Positive Medicine, Jordyn Feingold, MD will teach you what decades of research have to say about the ingredients of well-being and health, above and beyond the absence of disease and the inextricable links between the mind and body. Feingold will talk about what it means to REVAMP our notions of health and disease by focusing on six key themes: positive relationships, engagement, vitality, accomplishment, meaning, and positive emotions. If you are looking to get past burnout and moral injury and help your workplace or stakeholders thrive, this talk is for you. Read More >
Dr. Feingold also delivers individual talks and workshops on each of the REVAMP elements (positive relationships, engagement, vitality, accomplishment, meaning, and positive emotions) for audiences looking for a deeper dive. Read Less ^
