Wellness Champions

Stress and burnout are real, with emergency physicians having historically higher rates than other specialties. Taking care of you is a vital part of overall well-being and providing high-quality patient care. For immediate assistance, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. You matter. You are not alone.

At residency programs across the state, wellness champions work to engage, connect and support all members of the residency program, including residents, fellows, program directors and GME coordinators. They strive to incorporate wellness activities and initiatives into the daily operations of the residency program in both curricular and extracurricular areas. PACEP maintains an updated list of wellness champions across the state as a resource for you. If you have an edit to this list, please email exec@pacep.net.
