Physician Wellness Series: The SMILE Scale - A Tool for Clinicians

About this event

Join speaker Dr. Laura Vater for a virtual presentation in our lunch and learn Physician Wellness Series: "The SMILE Scale - A Tool for Clinicians."

The SMILE Scale presentation will address five key pillars of lifestyle medicine (sleep, exercise, stress reduction, social connection, and nutrition), with an emphasis in improving health habits among clinicians. This presentation will also address how social determinants of health and socioeconomic factors address health and may be barriers to good health for our patients (including food deserts, neighborhoods that are unsafe for exercise, low-wage jobs that require multiple jobs to make income and thus affect factors such as stress and sleep).

Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:

• Use a simple health behavior tool (the SMILE Scale) to help promote their health.
• Understand how socioeconomic factors influence healthy habits, such as sleep, exercise, and eating nutritious foods.
• Have a deeper understanding of factors that affect sleep, such as caffeine and alcohol.
