CE that clinicians don't tune out.
Most burnout CE is scheduled at the end of the day and endured. My programs are built for exactly that audience.
Audience
Tired, skeptical clinicians
Focus
Action over empty pep talks
Result
Immediate workplace tools
It gives them a mechanism they can use before they leave the room.
What makes these classes different?
Mechanism over motivation. Attendees leave understanding why burnout persists and what interrupts it — not a pep talk they forget by Monday.
Built for the room's actual state. These classes are designed to be taught to depleted clinicians, including evening and end-of-conference slots.
Field-tested. Delivered to licensed practitioners through multiple state associations, professional conferences, and CE platforms.
Defensible content. Clear learning objectives, named mechanisms, and a scope that stays in professional education — not clinical or mental-health treatment.

2-CEU Core Class
Self-Care Won't Fix This: The Blind Spots Driving Acupuncturist Burnout.

Best for: evening CE slots, half-day programming, regional conferences.
4-CEU Full Course
You Already Know It's Burnout. Why is Stopping So Hard?
The complete framework: all four workday patterns, the survival and identity rules that keep them running, the moral-injury mechanism underneath, the protocol, and pattern-matched "levers" for interrupting each pattern. Includes worksheets and downloadable pattern-recognition tools.
Best for: annual conventions, dedicated CE days, in-depth trainings.
All courses can be scoped to your CE requirements and time slot. Custom and keynote formats available.
