Dr. Chris Bundy, WPHP’s Executive Medical Director and FSPHP’s Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Art Hengerer, FSPHP Board of Directors, and Linda Bresnahan, MS, FSPHP’s Executive Director, were invited to the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) 2024 Symposium on Physician Well-Being, held November 18-20, 2024.

Their focus was on raising awareness and understanding of the vital role that Physician Health Programs (PHPs) play in promoting physician well-being. The goal of the symposium was to partner with guests who specialized in the physician health and well-being space to review and discuss the progress and impact of the well-being movement within graduate medical education (GME) since 2015.

Attendees were charged to identify successful strategies and initiatives that have effectively contributed to improving the well-being of medical trainees, faculty, and staff. The symposium further challenged attendees to define the future ideal states for both the GME clinical learning environment and the individuals within it, explore the well-being focus, and propose actionable strategies for future enhancements.
