What is Happy Doc Summer Camp?
Happy Doc first and foremost is JOY! Yes, we have CME. We talk about big issues like burnout and moral injury. But we also have fun!
What is fun for you? How do you best learn?
Things like "fun" and "wellness" mean different things to different people.
And that's OK.At Happy Doc, nothing is mandatory. Participate as much or as little as you want.
You don't even have to be a doc. Nurses, therapists, and everyone from the healthcare team is welcome!
“Teacher, may I be excused? My brain is full.”

There will be a time and a place for yoga.
But if it's not, sleep in or have coffee instead.
No one will judge you. And someone might join you.
And what about the faculty?
We could boast about their qualifications, but the most important thing to know is we designed a wellness experience WE would enjoy, too!
“I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

Or perhaps you just sat by the lake.

We actually DO do CME!
Our formal programming focuses on two things:
But we can find things to change to make our work life better.
