2025 IPS Annual Meeting:
Resilience, Renewal, & Revitalization: Cultivating Well-Being During Times of Change
Saturday, September 6, 2025
Holiday Inn Countryside
6201 Joliet Road, Countryside, IL 60525
ABOUT:
We live in a time of significant change and social pressures. Social determinants of health impact the care and well-being of our patients. Physician burnout is on the rise, potentially impacting our ability to protect our own well-being and to provide empathic, appropriate treatment to those in our care. How do we cultivate well-being and resilience for ourselves and our patients?
Join us at the IPS Annual Meeting, where we'll learn about physician well-being, burnout, and resilience; social determinants of health and their effects on treatment outcomes and patients' resilience; and climate psychiatry and its effects on well-being.
We'll end the day by celebrating the accomplishments of our talented members at the annual awards dinner, where we'll also recognize our poster session winners and our Carl C. Bell Memorial Award winner. We hope to see you there!
