Clinician Lifestyle: The Clinician and Finances (Pre-Recorded)

Pre-Recorded Seminar

PRE-RECORDED WEBINAR

As clinicians, what is our identity, how do we view ourselves and what type of lifestyle do we have and how satisfied are we with it?

As we strive to make a difference in the lives of our patients and clients, we realize that the more we know ourselves the more we will be able to help them.

Knowing ourselves as clinicians entails exploring topics that are rarely or ever discussed in school, in supervision, or during mentorship.

This is an opportunity for all of us and we hope we all take advantage of it.

Please join us and let’s enhance our way of making a difference in the lives of those we work with by exploring our lives and continuing to grow.

This Clinicians Lifestyle series includes all topics that are related to clinicians in all aspects of our lives. The ultimate goal is for all of us to get tools in an easy and fast way, that we can use to continue so we continue to contribute as much as possible.


At the end of each seminar of this series, you will have:
  1. A growing perspective on what being a clinician means to us, to our patients and clients, and to others around us.
  2. A deeper understanding of clinicians’ lifestyle.
  3. An understanding of the how each clinician’s progress translates into the ability to contribute more to our patients and clients.
  4. The knowledge of the how to make the transformation that was thought to belong to only the very few.

* This webinar series, just like all other ones, is free for all SWEET members.

What is the SWEET Institute?
SWEET’s vision is to facilitate the empowerment of all clinicians, advocates, and agencies, and in turn, that of patients and clients they serve. Through empowerment, self-care will be promoted, burnout will be prevented, and excellent patient/client care will be upheld. At SWEET, we emphasize “the Why, the How, the What, and Then What, while using the Socratic and Desire Methods. SWEET’s mission is to facilitate empowerment through education, multimodal trainings, and a community established for all clinicians, advocates, and agencies, so we can all grow together.
How different are these webinars? Will I be able to interact with the Course Facilitator(s)?
Absolutely. One of the keystone paradigms of the SWEET Institute is the collective learning process. This is accomplished using the Socratic Method and is based on the most up-to-date adult learning theories. Integrating this process into our in-person seminars and live webinars creates a unique and dynamic learning experience for all of us. It is essential to us that a comfortable learning environment is created, so that anyone who attends our webinars or in-person seminars participate and are able to take risks and push themselves to gain deeper knowledge. In our webinars, this will be done through our chat feature. Also, both Mardoche and Karen are available for consultation and clarification following webinars and in-person seminars or by email at [email protected].
Are you available for in-person or online training for agencies, including those outside New York?
We are! We will first need to learn more about the specific needs of your agency/organization. This way we are able to customize our seminars/webinars to ensure that it is the best fit possible for the staff.
Will I get continuing education credits for this course?
No. Though many of our courses that are approved for Continuing Education include elements of personal and professional development, this Empowerment series is solely dedicated to personal and professional development. Its focus is not on continuing education credits for clinicians.
