Healthcare professionals, especially surgeons and physicians, often work in high-pressure environments where psychological safety is crucial but frequently overlooked.

This session brings together experts to discuss the importance of psychological safety, strategies to navigate challenging situations, and actionable tools to protect and support oneself and others, equipping healthcare professionals with the tools to thrive in their roles.
