The Science of Compassion
Course Description
Leveraging the science of compassion to improve our experience of work
and communication with others
In partnership with Pu’ulu Lapa’au and Hawaii Pacific Health, HAH and HHERF are proud to present this 3-part webinar series, The Science of Compassion.
At its heart, clinical medicine involves interacting with other humans, often in the context of suffering. Our interactions can take many forms. We may get the job done, but how we view others and interact with them throughout the process can vary greatly between each of us. Do we see patients and colleagues as problems to be solved, or people we have little in common with? Or do we see them with affection and a sense of affinity?
This question is fundamental because the view we take can have a profound impact on our own well-being. This has been understood for millennia within Eastern spiritual traditions, and more recently validated through extensive cognitive science research on compassion. The science is clear - when we are able to cultivate strong feeling of positive connection with others we buffer ourselves against stress, depression, and work-related PTSD.
The research is also clear that compassion is something we can proactively cultivate. There are cognitive/analytical techniques that, when practiced sincerely, allow us to reframe our relationships with others.
This series will use the science of compassion and evidence-based tools to improve providers’ experiences. Join us as Dr. Ryan Bayley, executive coach for healthcare leaders, guides us in a step-wise fashion beginning with self-compassion, broadening that to others, and then seeing on a more practical level how compassion informs practical communication skills necessary in today’s stressed environment.
Over the course of this series, participants will:
Explore the science of compassion and self-compassion as tools for increasing provider well-being and optimism
Examine brief, evidence-based techniques to increase internal and external compassion to improve one’s daily experience of their work
Discuss compassion-based communication techniques to better navigate challenging patient and provider interactions
