Challenge: Resolve Workplace Conflict - With Confidence
Conflict is a natural part of any workplace — especially in a work environment as dynamic and demanding as health care. However, most of us do not feel comfortable or equipped to resolve conflicts when they arise.
You can learn to effectively resolve workplace conflict. When managed with empathy, clarity, and intention, conflict can strengthen communication, build trust, and protect your emotional well-being, as well as that of your coworkers. This 10-day challenge will help you build the mindset and tools needed to manage work conflict with confidence.
December 1-5 is National Influenza Vaccination Week
National Influenza Vaccination Week (NIVW) serves as a reminder that it is not too late to get your flu shot.

Two research studies seeking participants
1 *Are you a healthcare profession who currently handles or has ever handled hazardous drugs?The University of Maryland School of Medicine’s Division of Occupational and Environmental Medicine is implementing a Hazardous Drug Exposure Registry with the purpose of:
Characterizing the demographics and exposure circumstances of oncology workers exposed to hazardous anti-cancer drugs
Assessing the burden of cancer, reproductive outcomes and other health risks that accrue to this population
Advocating for and promoting adoption of safety practices nationally with partners such as professional organizations and public health agencies
The survey takes about 45 minutes to complete. Data for the registry will be collected via a web-based data collection tool. For additional information contact: Danielle DeVeau Crawford at danielle.crawford@som.umaryland.edu. Access the survey here.
2* Johns Hopkins University SON invites you to participate in a research study exploring a new way to understand clinician well-being and integrity.
Self-care has long been recognized as essential for clinicians. However, the term is often oversimplified—reduced to surface-level solutions promoted by a multibillion-dollar wellness industry. Their team is developing a different approach: a validated scale to measure self-stewardship among nurses, doctors, social workers, and chaplains practicing in healthcare.
