A Forum for Frontline Healthcare Specialists

Contact Hours offered

 

 

ABOUT
OUR
PROGRAM

    

Frontline workers deal with difficult personal and emotional issues alongside administrative constraints that may impact time spent with patients.
 
Bedside Matters is a safe forum to openly discuss thought-provoking topical events and the social and emotional issues that often arise in caring for patients and families.  It has the goal of strengthening relationships between patients and caregivers and helping preserve the human connection in healthcare.

We begin with each session with a VUMC patient case.  After review, a panel of diverse healthcare workers provides their unique perspectives. We then open the discussion to our audience to ask questions and share their experiences.

We ask that all participants have an open mind, share honestly, and be respectful when opinions vary from their own.

Virtual events are held the third Wednesday of every month from 12pm to 1pm.  

We look forward to your participation!
