ADVENT MORNING OF RECOLLECTION
Topic: Approaching Burnout
Saturday, December 14th, 2019 at 9:30 AM
Mass 9:30 AM celebrated by Rev. Monsignor Timothy J. Moran
Our discussion leader will be Dr. Kernan Manion. Dr. Manion is no stranger to the world of healthcare, having witnessed its rapid evolution
over the span of a thirty year career. And he is no stranger to burnout. After confronting some challenging issues pertaining to
ensuring quality mental health care for post-combat service-members, he took an active interest in the psychology of whistleblowing.
This led to an unusual focus on medical whistleblowers which ultimately led to his founding and directing CPR - The Center for Physician
Rights (www.PhysicianRights.net). Because of his diverse clinical experience along with his
background as a clinical psychiatrist, he brings a wealth of skill and wisdom to our discussion.
