The 25th Annual Reza Gandjei Memorial Lecture: Addressing the Crisis of Clinician Burnout — A Conversation with Tait Shanafelt

Session moderated by Bob Wachter

This year’s 25th Annual Reza Gandjei lecturer is Tait Shanafelt, MD. Dr. Shanafelt is the chief wellness officer, associate dean, and Jeanie and Stewart Richie Professor of Medicine at Stanford University. In addition to his clinical work as a hematologist/oncologist, he is an international thought leader in the field of physician well-being, having helped hundreds of organizations and their leaders work to decrease burnout and promote professional fulfillment for physicians. He previously served as the founding director of the Mayo Clinic Program on Physician Well-Being and currently leads the WellMD Center at Stanford. He served on the National Academy of Medicine Committee on System Approaches to Support Clinician Well-Being and now serves on the National Academy Clinician Well-Being Steering Committee.

This yearly lecture is held in memory of Reza Gandjei, a former UCSF medicine resident who died far too young. He had a particular interest in health care ethics and policy, so speakers in this series have been international experts in these topics.

This Grand Rounds will be hybrid, with both in-person and Zoom options. The UCSF community can join us at Parnassus at N-217 (lunch provided); our extended community can still watch live on Zoom. As always, Grand Rounds will also be available after the live presentation on our  YouTube channel.
