COURSE DESCRIPTION/ EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES

Behind every successful dental practice is a thriving, well-balanced professional. In this dynamic and interactive workshop, dentists will learn how to shift from burnout to balance by placing their own well-being at the center of their personal and professional lives. Through practical strategies grounded in neuroscience, psychology, and real-world experiences, participants will discover how self-care isn’t selfish—it’s essential!

By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:

  1. Identify signs of burnout.
  2. Understand the science behind stress and self-care.
  3. Implement practical self-care strategies.
  4. Create a feasible action plan to incorporate strategies into professionals’ busy lives.

SPEAKER

Belinda C. Basaca, MD, MS

Dr. Belinda Celis Basaca (aka Dr. B) holds a Bachelor of Science in Sociology-Biology from Union College in Schenectady, New York, Master of Science in Biochemistry & Molecular Biology, and an MD degree with a Distinction in Research, both from Albany Medical College in Albany, New York. After graduation, she went on to  Pediatric Residency at North Shore University Hospital in Manhasset, New York.  Upon completing her training, Dr. B worked at a couple of pediatric private practices on Long Island before opening her own brainchild, New Health Pediatrics, in her hometown of Glen Cove. Experiencing burnout herself, she became an advocate of healthy practices in mind, body and spirit for adults and children especially busy professionals. Although she no longer practices clinical medicine, she continues to help people live healthy lives as a global lifestyle and cultural consultant, speaker and author (“Mom, I Wanna Be a Fighter! An Eye Opening Guide to the Speed Bumps, Gut Punches & Miracles of Life!” is Dr. B’s debut book publication). She has two young adult sons and lives with her husband of many years on Long Island, New York
