Are you engaged in structuring health care organizations to promote physician health and well-being? If so, consider sharing your work at the American Conference on Physician Health (ACPH). The conference, which is being hosted by the American Medical Association, Mayo Clinic and Stanford University School of Medicine, is Sept. 19-21, 2019, at the Sheraton Charlotte Hotel/Le Meridien in Charlotte, NC. Submissions will be accepted until March 29, 2019.
“Activating health system change to promote physician well-being” is this year’s conference theme. The conference will showcase research and initiatives into the infrastructure of the health care system and what organizations can do to help combat burnout and promote well-being. The conference will provide a forum for practitioners and researchers to present recent findings, innovative methods and support systems and educational programs in the area of physicians’ health. The friendly and informal conference environment promotes networking, exchange of experiences and information and leisure activity focused on staying healthy.
Organizers are particularly interested in abstracts identifying solutions that organizations can implement or best practices that others can use to achieve joy in medicine – a fundamental redesign of medical practice to restore the healing relationships among patients, physicians and health care systems. This also includes a high level of physician work-life balance, a low level of burnout and a feeling that medical practice is fulfilling.
Abstract may be submitted in one of two categories:
- Research: Submitted as either a poster or oral presentation.
- Workshop: Submitted as an interactive session; research and non-research workshops will be considered.
