Physician Wellness and Resources

(from NCMS Morning Rounds)

National Physician Suicide Awareness Day was September 17. Physicians have one of the highest suicide rates of any profession. It's not too late to learn the signs, start conversations, understand the underlying barriers and share the resources that can help those in distress see mental health care.

We know the health care system is changing rapidly and for some physicians this is at great personal cost — loss of job satisfaction, burnout, clinical depression and, the worst-case scenario, suicide. As your professional society, we believe YOUR well-being is paramount.

With your help, we’re ready to devote significant resources to YOUR well-being to help you rediscover the joy of practicing medicine and the beauty of reconnecting with your patients.

We’re initially focusing our efforts in the following areas: 

• Changing the culture around seeking help;
• Gathering and disseminating best practices;
• Education;
• Building our financial resources.
