Conference-workshop "The complexities of professionalism: from sport to healthcare systems".

Maison des Etudiants " Aimé Schoenig ", campus Richter, bât. B - Montpellier.

In today's complex sporting landscape, business models, regulations, celebrity, social media, lifestyle, etc. are all pressures likely to impact on athletes' mental and physical health. The same applies to healthcare systems. The COVID pandemic has shown that, at least in North-Western countries, the organization of work (pay and hours), business models, pharmaceutical industry strategies, underfunding and government regulations all contribute to cracking healthcare systems, while heightening the expectations of society and patients alike.

Faced with such challenges, a growing network of experts has turned to the sciences of complexity to help professionals develop a clearer and more complete understanding of the complex social systems in which they operate, and gain in efficiency.

During this interactive seminar, Prof. Brian CASTELLANI will provide participants with a set of tools to develop an understanding of their professionalism in terms of a complex system.

The seminar is organized as follows:

1. Introduction to the value of complex systems thinking for professionalism.
2. Presentation of a tripartite model of professional complexity, accompanied by exercises involving descriptions of the psychological challenges that complexity can pose.
3. Audience participation to explore the complex and varied contexts in which the professionals present work.
4. Exploring the different types of professionalism currently in practice.
