Do physicians and researchers need to think about workplace wellness, too?

It may seem surprising, but according to AMA Wire, it's an issue that merits focus. They write: “Researchers and physicians around the world are facing the same issue—keeping physicians healthy in a rapidly changing health care environment. Learn what one physician researcher from Mayo Medical School had to say about the need for a global collaboration to share approaches to physician, resident and medical student health and well-being.”

Dr. Lotte Dyrbye is a professor of medicine at Mayo Medical School. Dr. Dyrbye will “participate in a panel on medical education at the International Conference on Physician Health™.” Said Dr. Dyrbye: “Meeting with researchers from around the globe helps us get outside of our little box and think more broadly, get new ideas and approaches that we wouldn’t have thought about otherwise.”

She continued: “You can equip yourself with the other skills that you need to really thrive in the evolving health care system by understanding quality improvement. [For example,] by having a good concept of how you can improve your diabetes metrics.”

For professionals who want to learn more, “there’s still time to register to attend the International Conference on Physician Health and learn how researchers and physicians from around the world are working to improve physician health and well-being. Although the conference is a collaboration of the AMA, the Canadian Medical Association and the British Medical Association, researchers from around the world will be in attendance.”
