This month, we’ll be diving into: Is compassion the antidote to burnout?

Laura Jordhen, MD, a fellow TRT member, will presenting on how we manage, deal and prevent burnout. This is something she often presents to other Dr’s, so it’s a real treat to have her present to us!

Dr. Laura graduated from Smith College in Massachusetts with a Women’s Studies degree before returning to Oregon to study at Oregon Health and Science University, where she also spent a year in India and met her future husband. She completed her residency in Wisconsin, where her eldest child was born, and later welcomed her youngest in Vancouver. A proud Cougar family, both of her sons attend Washington State University while she serves on the College of Medicine faculty.

In her family medicine practice, she emphasizes whole-person care, believing that while medications are important, community and a sense of purpose are equally vital to health.
