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

The Regulated Clinician: The Science
of Staying Well While Doing Difficult Work
Dr. Rana Al Rasheed
Dentistry asks us to be clinically precise\, emotionally present\, an d mentally focused\, often while moving from one demanding patient encount er to the next. Over time\, the accumulation of these daily demands can af fect not only how we feel\, but how we show up for our patients\, our team s\, and ourselves.
Drawing on her training in integrative medicine a nd her experience as a clinician and dental educator\, Dr. Rana Al-Rasheed introduces The Regulated Clinician\, a practical\, evidence-informed fram ework for sustaining well-being and meaning in clinical practice. Through three principles:Regulate\, Reframe\, and Renew. She explores how clinicia ns can regulate their physiological state\, reframe the impact and purpose of their work through a broader whole-person lens\, and build brief recov ery practices into the clinical day.
Attendees will leave with pract ical\, evidence-informed strategies they can use in real time—not to elimi nate the demands of dentistry\, but to build the capacity to meet them wit h greater presence\, curiosity\, and resilience.
