Physician-led courses and programs that promote MH and wellbeing

Courses taught by physicians at the residency level and beyond, such as the The Healer's Art designed by Rachel Naomi Remen, and David Shlim’s classes in empathy, can cultivate a healthy work environment. These courses can positively impact workers in healthcare as they learn to take care of their mental health, become more compassionate in their work, and recognize early signs of burnout and fatigue, which can lead to a deterioration in the quality of care delivered. While many of these interventions focus on the individual wellbeing, promoting them at the organizational level may also benefit the workforce.
