Prioritizing clinician wellness is essential for sustaining well being throughout the many decades of a medical career. Wellness directly influences the quality and safety of patient care, strengthens team effectiveness, fosters engagement and joy in the practice of medicine, and supports healthy work- life integration. Burnout remains a significant threat to clinician well being. Clinicians consistently experience some of the highest burnout rates across professions, leading to exhaustion, cynicism, depersonalization, and a diminished sense of personal accomplishment. These effects can impair attention, decision making, patient satisfaction, and may increase the likelihood of medical errors.
Our vision for the wellness of our physicians and advance practitioners does not come from an initiative, or even program, but rather from a culture and community that recognize clinician wellness as a fundamental aspect of a vibrant environment in which to care for our patients. Our program provides holistic resources that support clinicians' emotional, physical, and occupational wellness. By enhancing professional fulfillment, strengthening resilience, and promoting a culture of continuous growth, we aim to help clinicians thrive both personally and professionally. This comprehensive approach reinforces the foundation necessary for sustained wellness and long term success in medicine.
