Compassion satisfaction (CS) is fulfillment derived from caring for others. Compassion fatigue (CF), however, is emotional stress experienced by providers from repeated, ongoing contact with suffering patients. CF is often cited in the context of intensive care, pediatric oncology, palliative medicine and nursing. It is rarely mentioned in the context of dentistry. Students and educators in oral health care experience CS/CF from various factors. This workshop aims to cultivate discussion regarding CS/CF in dental education and practice, identify curricular modification to coach students in coping mechanisms, and if the cycle influences graduates’ employment, decisions regarding subsidized insurance, serving socially disadvantaged patients or entering academia.

Learning Objectives:

  • Identify elements of CS and CF in dental education.
  • Use and provide resources to students and colleagues to enhance professional quality of life.
  • Develop a culture of healthy caregiving to maintain a positive impact on future graduate career development.
