Session Outline
This session is an interactive audience and panel discussion facilitated by the Wellness, Resilience and Performance in Emergency Medicine (WRAP EM) group.
Hear from the panel of highly regarded local FACEMs as they discuss the challenges of working in Emergency Medicine throughout the different phases of their own careers, and their strategies for career sustainability.
Join in the discussion via the roving audience microphones, live audience polling and over social media with a Twitter moderator fielding live questions for the panel.
The aim of this session is to identify the challenges, share new ideas, generate solutions and create positive change for the current and future generation of FACEMs.
