Occupational (July)

“The occupationally well individual contributes her/his unique skills/talents to work that is meaningful and rewarding.  This person's values are expressed through involvement in paid and non-paid activities that are personally rewarding for the individual and make a contribution to the well-being of the community at large.  He or she has satisfactorily integrated his/her commitment to the occupational realm into a total lifestyle that is rewarding.” (Hettler 1976)

 

Emergency Medicine Relevance:  Maintain compassion and empathy, mitigate bias for longevity in a rewarding career.  Litigation stress. Medical error.
