He'll walk through three keys to reconnecting with our profess ion: Show Up\, Change It Up\, and Don't Give Up.

The Regulated Clinicia
n: The Science of Staying Well While Doing Difficult Work
Dr. Rana Al Rasheed
Dentistry asks us to be clinically precise\, emotionall y present\, and mentally focused\, often while moving from one demanding p atient encounter to the next. Over time\, the accumulation of these daily demands can affect not only how we feel\, but how we show up for our patie nts\, our teams\, and ourselves.
Drawing on her training in integrat ive medicine and her experience as a clinician and dental educator\, Dr. R ana Al-Rasheed introduces The Regulated Clinician\, a practical\, evidence -informed framework for sustaining well-being and meaning in clinical prac tice. Through three principles:Regulate\, Reframe\, and Renew. She explore s how clinicians can regulate their physiological state\, reframe the impa ct and purpose of their work through a broader whole-person lens\, and bui ld brief recovery practices into the clinical day.
Attendees will le ave with practical\, evidence-informed strategies they can use in real tim e—not to eliminate the demands of dentistry\, but to build the capacity to meet them with greater presence\, curiosity\, and resilience.
