Shaping the Future of Physician Wellness, Together

Physician wellness is an important responsibility shared by individual physicians, the medical profession, and healthcare systems.

The Well Doc Initiative is a non-profit organization that advances a collaborative, co-operative approach to physician wellness by working with interested groups and organizations across Canada. We aim to help physicians, physician groups, and healthcare system leaders embed policies, practices, and programs in their healthcare systems to proactively enhance the wellness of physicians across Canada.
