Purpose: To explore distress in the medical profession and how it was highlighted by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The term "orientational distress" was developed to name the experience of a breakdown in the patterns of moral self-understanding and one's capacity to navigate professional responsibilities.
Method: The Enhancing Life Research Laboratory at the University of Chicago convened a 5-session online workshop (total 10 hours, May-June 2021) to explore orientational distress and to promote collaboration between academics and physicians.
