Educational Need
Healthcare providers may celebrate victories with one patient and go on to deliver devastating news to another. Therefore, it is no surprise that practicing medicine can take an intense emotional toll on providers, affecting clinical performance and patient care. Countless internal and external factors may influence the emotional state of a healthcare provider, and providers must acknowledge their emotions and have the competence to take appropriate measures to protect themselves and their patients.
Target Audience
DMU faculty, staff, students, residents, and the medical community.
Objectives
- Discuss emotional responses in medicine and throughout medical training.
- Describe the myriad of ways these emotional responses can be triggered while working as physicians.
- Recognize personal emotional responses and how they can impact academic performance as well as patient care.
- Describe potential methods to reduce burnout, including improving work-life balance, self-efficacy, self-regulation, and resiliency.
Location
IMPORTANT! Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, DMU is closed to external visitors. Only individuals with an active DMU badge may attend on-site.

Adam Bertroche, DO'17
Assistant Professor, Behavioral Medicine, Medical Humanities and Bioethics, Des Moines University
Dr. Bertroche received his Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree from Des Moines University (DMU) in 2017. He completed his categorical psychiatry residency in 2021 at the University of Kansas School of Medicine (KUMC), where he received an Excellence in Scholarship Award. In his last year at KUMC, Dr. Bertroche was chief psychiatry resident at the Kansas City Veterans Hospital. In his role at DMU, he will also see patients as the psychiatrist for the University's new Behavioral Health Clinic. Dr. Bertroche values his opportunity to contribute to the development of future healthcare providers and has developed learning tools related to comprehensive suicide risk evaluation and understanding differential diagnoses for the most common psychiatric presentations. As a physician, he knows first-hand the emotional aspect of the practice of medicine that is evident throughout training and beyond.
