Description
There is evidence that psychological counseling / coaching can improve physician wellness. However, physicians and organizations may fail to utilize these types of programs due to a variety of perceived barriers. We will describe common barriers both from in the literature as well as our personal experience running two large medical society physician wellness programs. We will provide practical solutions with a proven track record of success to these barriers. Participants will gain knowledge and tools to create their own successful physician wellness program.
