Workshops Hosted:

Flourishing as a surgical pa: what providers can learn from fighter pilots, olympic athletes, & cirque de soleil performers

Arena Labs' mission to revolutionize the way frontline healthcare professionals are trained and shift the paradigm from clinician endurance to clinician performance. High Performance Medicine is anchored in the belief that frontline medical teams should have access to the same tools, training, and data as other teams who perform in high-stakes, high-consequence environments. We cannot change the stressors of modern medicine. But, we are able to improve the capacity of frontline medical teams to manage and navigate stress.
