Cultivating Physician Well-Being: An Organizational Roadmap for Leaders

Physicians across Ontario face significant levels of chronic workplace stress due to the unique nature of their roles. Despite these diverse challenges, a prevailing culture often encourages physicians to prioritize patient care over their own mental health concerns.

This free course requires only a modest time commitment and provides health care leaders in hospital and primary care settings with the tools and support they need to improve physician well-being, reduce burnout, and create a healthier workplace — leading to stronger teams and better patient care.

Discuss, learn, and collaborate with other organizations in dedicated hospital and primary care cohorts:

  • Delivered virtually in a series of three 3-hour modules hosted on Zoom Events
  • Co-developed and co-facilitated by Ontario physicians
  • Required participation from 3 – 5 individuals from each organization, with a mix of senior c-suite leaders, physician leaders, and physicians
