The sense that you can’t disconnect from work is a major source of burnout in academic medicine.

In the UVA Department of Medicine we’re rolling out a new email guideline for faculty and staff to help alleviate this.

I don’t expect it to be perfect, but it’s worse to not try something.

The 2023 ID Update has been scheduled and agenda is set! Looking forward to another great conference for the Alabama medical community! uab.edu/medicine/id/ne…

Registration is live!
