Collaborators

We use a co-operative model to augment education and prevention resources around physician wellness. Essential to this model are the contributions of our diverse collaborators, including physicians and professionals trained in other disciplines. The Well Doc Initiative provides an avenue for those with physician wellness expertise to reach a broader audience and to train others to meet the increasing demands for physician wellness resources.

 

Collaborators may contribute in many ways including:

  • Sharing resources they have developed

  • Helping develop new education resources

  • Updating existing education resources (from personal or other sources)

  • Teaching education resource materials directly

  • Training other physicians to teach education resource materials

  • Helping develop or refine processes related to supporting groups to implement foundational programs at the system level
