Overview

The Mayo Clinic Department of Medicine Program on Physician Well-Being was created to promote physician well-being through research, education, and the development of wellness promotion programs that foster physician satisfaction and performance.

The program is dedicated to:

• understanding and promoting physician well-being
• providing resources for physicians that help them promote their own wellness
• discovering personal and organizational approaches to prevent physician distress
• creating a workplace that is a source not only of energy expenditure but also energy renewal

The PPWB is a multidisciplinary endeavor that draws on the expertise of members of the Departments of Medicine, Psychiatry, and Psychology as well as Mayo Clinic experts in the fields of occupational health and quality of life research.
