# Event Details - **Event Name**: Promoting Professionalism - In Nashville, April 16-17, 2026 - **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 16 Apr, 2026 at 02:30 pm – Fri, 17 Apr, 2026 at 02:00 pm (-05:00) - **Event Description**: Promoting Professionalism in Healthcare - In Nashville, April 16-17, 2026About this EventNow, more than ever, we are committed to supporting professionalism in healthcare.What does an organization do when individual or group behaviors undermine the best attempts to create a safe, respectful, and reliable environment? You need a plan and the right people, processes, and systems.For 30 years, the Vanderbilt Health Center for Patient and Professional Advocacy (CPPA) has partnered with hospitals and health systems in more than 300 sites with over 225,000 professionals, in conducting research, training peer professionals, and developing the tools and processes to identify, intervene, and support the 2.5 to 4% of the professional workforce who model disrespect and threaten outcomes of care. The good news is that just over 90% of professionals identified as high risk will respond to a tiered intervention model, the Vanderbilt Professional Accountability Pyramid, to guide sharing of stories and data. Sharing begins with a respectful, non-judgmental, peer delivered “Cup of Coffee”. If subsequent reports suggest emergence of a pattern, the Pyramid directs escalation to an “Awareness” intervention, also delivered by a peer messenger supported by specialty specific comparison data to encourage the professional to pause and reflect why their practice seems to stand out. For the small number of clinicians who are unable or unwilling to respond, combining leader directed corrective action plans with appropriate resources for these professionals including coaching, health screenings and potentially treatment, encourages action prior to the need for disciplinary interventions and associated consequences.Our internationally acclaimed faculty have years of experience in healthcare leadership and professional accountability. Promoting Professionalism provides practical tactics for attendees who wish to implement these tools in their own organizations.Notable Highlights2-day, in-person, highly interactive courseCME credit is pending reviewOpportunities to meet and network with the speakers, faculty and other attendeesCourse fee includes attendance to both days and food and beverages during the eventAgendaApril 16, 2025 - 3pm-6:30pm CST (sign in begins at 2:30pm; hors d'oeuvres provided)April 17, 2025 - 8am-2pm CST (sign in begins at 7:00am; breakfast and lunch provided)ObjectivesAfter participating in this activity, participants should be able to:Discuss the relationships between behaviors that undermine a culture of safety and suboptimal outcomes.Describe a method that may be used for identifying professionals with a pattern of behaviors that undermine a culture of safety and respect.Identify a range of behaviors that undermine a culture of safety and respect and describe a "professional accountability pyramid".Describe an evidence-based approach for addressing behaviors that undermine a culture of safety and respect.Discuss three graduated levels of interventions for addressing behavior that undermine a culture of safety.Consider pertinent legal issues in addressing behaviors that undermine a culture of safety and respect.AccommodationsAttendees are responsible for making their own reservations for accommodations.
