This is the second in our two-part series on a very important and timely topic - provider wellness. Today we are picking up on the previous conversation that we had with Dr. Locke with Dr. Jake Van Epps, who is a staff psychologist at the University of Utah Health Resiliency Center.
Dr. Van Epps received his bachelor’s degree from Castleton University followed by a master's in education at the Univ of Georgia and his Ph.D. in counseling psychology from the Pennsylvania State University.
We will be discussing the practical and meaningful ways that providers can address and improve their own wellness during the time of COVID and beyond. He will also highlight resources that are available both for faculty and staff at the University of Utah Health as well as for those outside of the University of Utah system that address physician burnout and provider wellness.
