Recognising and Managing Stress and Burnout in Health Professionals is a practical on-demand course designed to help healthcare students and professionals better recognise stress, understand burnout, identify warning signs, and respond more effectively.
Stress is common in healthcare practice, but when it becomes persistent or poorly managed, it can affect wellbeing, professional performance, relationships, and quality of care. Burnout may develop gradually and is not always recognised early. This course focuses on practical understanding rather than theory alone.
The course covers:
- How to identify stress
- How to understand burnout
- Common warning signs
- Practical techniques for managing stress and burnout
- Applying these principles within healthcare practice
- Recognising when professional help may be needed
The course is led by Dr Sandip H Shah, Professor and Head of the Department of Psychiatry at GMERS Medical College, Gotri, Vadodara. He has over three decades of professional experience in psychiatry, with expertise in community mental health, school mental health, research, evidence-based medicine, and other areas of mental health.
The course is suitable for undergraduate and postgraduate students, recent graduates, dentists, medical professionals, academicians, specialists, and other healthcare professionals.
Course format
The course includes a focused core lecture followed by a separate discussion and Q&A based on questions raised during the original live session.
Course access
After enrolment, participants can access the course on demand and work through the lecture, discussion, and completion requirements at their own pace.
Access is available for 4 weeks from the date of enrolment.
A certificate will be available on completion of the course, subject to fulfilling the course requirements.
