MSDC joins the American Medical Association and the entire House of Medicine in recognizing the epidemic of burnout in healthcare professionals. In particular, MSDC remains dedicated to providing resources and support to District physicians in their struggle against burnout. For decades, MSDC has provided support and advocacy for those physicians battling addiction. MSDC has officially launched The Healthy Physician Foundation to advance physician wellness.

What is the Wellbeing Program?

The Wellbeing Program is MSDC's comprehensive physician wellness program that provides resources and templates to address moral injury and burnout. MSDC recognizes that burnout manifests in many forms, and it aims to create a program with a wide range of resources including coaching, counselling, networking, and best practice templates. The program is open to all physicians and is supported by physician organizations, foundations, and health systems.

How can you help? Currently our program helps physicians through wellness, career, and life coaching. You can donate to the program to directly pay for a session or sessions for a peer. We have some options listed, or donate an amount that feels right.

Donations to the Wellbeing Program are made through the Healthy Physician Foundation (HPF). The Foundation is MSDC's 501(c)(3) charitable arm that supports physician health and wellbeing. All donations to the HPF are 100% tax deductible for personal income tax. Learn more at healthyphysician.org.
