Monica Branigan is a family physician and associate professor in the Department of Family and Community Medicine, University of Toronto. After diverse experiences in rural, rehab, student health and academic settings, she focused her clinical practice in palliative care. Her education experience is equally varied. Following a MHSc (Bioethics) at the Joint Centre for Bioethics at the University of Toronto, she was responsible for the ethics and professionalism teaching the University of Toronto Medical School from 2002 to 2008. She taught postgraduates ethics, palliative care and communication skills. At the faculty level she was Professional Development Lead for the Division of Palliative Care. Currently she is on the faculty for the Physician Leadership Institute with Joule where she teaches Professionalism and Ethics and is a trainer for Crucial Conversations. She continues training and teaching in mindfulness and compassion skills for physicians. Monica is very curious about how to move the discussion about physician wellness from personal resiliency to environments that support sustainable practice.
