Building Resilience (Aspiring Leaders Session, CLIMB 2025)

The highly regulated healthcare industry has always had its share of challenges. Limited resources, budget short-falls, and staffing issues have been the long-experienced narrative for most healthcare administrators. The previous challenges do not seem to compare to what we are facing today in the midst of this pandemic. The American Psychological Association (APA), defines resilience as an opportunity for meaningful personal growth through the process of adapting to difficult circumstances with the knowledge that the circumstances do not govern an individual’s outcome but allow room for improvement. Building resilience provides one with a new skill-set to use on a daily basis. This course will outline the current challenges brought about by the pandemic, both from an individual perspective and that of medical imaging administrators. The course utilizes qualitative data collected via phone interviews with medical imaging administrators around the nation. The course discusses the psychological and physical realties that may create the need for different policies and practices going forward. The course provides a new set of tools to utilize and practice in order to build resilience in this time of crisis. NOTE: You must allow pop-up windows/blockers. (Duration: 90 Minutes)
