Curriculum:
Practical Tools Tailored for the Real-World Challenges of Healthcare
Healthcare is not the only field asked to serve in a high-stress, high-stakes environment.
We have compiled the best science-based practices proven in the military, elite sports and the creative arts to design a unique curriculum tailored for you, on the frontlines of healthcare.
Since founding Arena Labs in 2017, we have worked with thousands of clinicians and learned that no matter where someone serves in healthcare – a physician, nurse, advanced care practitioner or technologist – there are a clear set of common challenges that you face.
Our team has distilled that insight into our “Foundations” learning journey where clinicians explore the nine most common challenges seen in healthcare. Each challenge is accompanied by three science-backed tools proven out not only in literature, but in other high-stress fields. Over the course of the Arena Strive experience, users select at least three Challenges, giving them a total of 9 immediately actionable tools for managing stress, improving recovery, and optimizing performance.
