Description
This interactive presentation will explore the challenges and opportunities of having a strong work identity and taking care of the body. For physicians, the relationship between work and personal life can have far-reaching implications for individuals and the healthcare system. Any form of transition for a physician is important for personal reasons; however, it can also have repercussions for patients, interrupting continuity in patient care, and affect members of allied healthcare teams. As more of us are living longer thinking about work identity and work transitions has become an increasingly relevant topic. Longevity also prompts the need to think more carefully and critically about how to keep aging bodies healthy. While evidence suggests that regular exercise is the most important modifiable factor that can increase the chances of aging with agility, some of us exercise enthusiastically and others of us avoid it like the plague. This talk will examine work identity in a way that is linked to exercise and somatic processes drawing from Michelle Pannor Silver, Ph.D.’s recent book Aging with Agility, and findings from Retirement and Its Discontents.
