Jeffrey Zahn, MD, is an Obstetric Anesthesiologist and Assistant Professor of Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine at the Icahn School of Medicine Mount Sinai in New York City. In 2014, he published Choose Happiness! A Guide to Practical Perspectivism and Happy Daily Living, describing Practical Perspectivism, an applied philosophy declaring we each have the capacity to choose, and are responsible for, our own emotional state. He began teaching Practical Perspectivism and Wellness in Medicine in 2016 in conjunction with the Accreditation Council of Graduate Medical Education’s new curriculum requirements for well-being training of resident physicians.

As he winds down his clinical career, Dr. Zahn is excited to continue teaching Wellness both within Medicine and to the community at large.
