LIVE YOUR BEST LIFE
Oasis is first and foremost a psychiatry conference designed to update you on the wide range of psychiatric disorders and with a focus on complex cases and actionable guidance provided by experts in their subfields.
But Oasis is much more than that: it’s about YOU! Yes, as a clinician, you need to maintain your edge in psychiatric knowledge, but you also have to learn about how to optimally manage your career, take care of yourself and those important to you, and to live your best life – which means aligning your actions with your core values and goals.
At Oasis, you’ll have the opportunity – the time and mind-space, community, presentations and exercises – to deeply consider your current work and your career and personal life as you would like them to unfold, and to then develop a concrete plan for change.
To produce positive life transformation, changes undertaken should be holistic and address the major areas of daily activity. Thus, Oasis covers the following content areas:
- Psychiatric Disorders and Their Treatments: Learn to manage complex and treatment-resistant cases. At Oasis you receive a real-world clinical focus, up-to-date data, and master-level psychopharmacology with detailed prescribing guidance. Learn to address problems such as treatment non-adherence, risk-taking behaviors, suicide and violence risks, drug-seeking behaviors, and patient or family acting-out.
- Your Unfolding Career: If you current work in a clinic/department/facility, learn to eliminate frustratingly recurrent and foreseeable challenges presented by patients, families, and staff. Develop or advocate for robust, easy-to-follow, and fair clinic procedures. Also, learn what it takes to set up your own practice or to negotiate better terms for positions you may be seeking. And, as you progress through your career, learn what most drives you and develop a career plan that aligns with your deepest values and life goals.
- Your Well-Being: Learn techniques to increase life satisfaction, improve health, and decrease stress and burnout. Attend yoga sessions, guided imagery exercises, fireside chats with Dr. Jack, an ice-breaker reception, family-fun activities, and make life-long friends.
