Course overview

This course is a recording of a previously hosted live webinar event. Polling and question submission features are not available for this recording. Format and structure may differ from those of standard Medbridge courses. Despite increased awareness, chronic stress and burnout remain widespread among healthcare professionals, impacting mental health, physical well-being, and quality of care delivery. This webinar explores the neuroscience of how stress affects the brain and body and, more importantly, equips practitioners with evidence-based tools for daily regulation and stress relief. Participants will explore the science behind stress responses, recognize signs of burnout, and examine how to activate the parasympathetic nervous system using evidence-based techniques shown to help healthcare practitioners recover more effectively and prevent burnout. The session includes opportunities to practice nervous system regulation strategies, apply them to realistic clinical scenarios, and develop a plan for consistent nervous system regulation. Designed for all healthcare practitioners, this practical, interactive webinar empowers participants to translate knowledge into action, helping restore calm and build long-term resilience
