In the face of the unprecedented challenges created by the COVID-19 pandemic and the accompanying global public health emergency, the 911 Academy of Medicine’s Action Collaborative on Clinician Well-Being and Resilience is giving its attention to this issue.
Even before the COVID-19 outbreak, many clinicians already faced burnout, as well as stress, anxiety, depression, substance abuse, and even suicidality. Now this crisis is presenting clinicians with even greater workplace hardships and moral dilemmas that are very likely to exacerbate existing levels of burnout and related mental health problems.
The following resources offer more information on how to support the health and well-being of clinicians during public health emergencies, including the COVID-19 response.
The NAM continues to stand with health workers throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.Join us in uniting the health workforce to optimize well-being, and develop actionable strategies to retain clinicians >>
