September is National Physician Suicide Awareness Month and Sept. 17 is the seventh annual National Physician Suicide Awareness Day. It’s estimated that between 300 and 400 physicians die by suicide each year, with physicians at a greater risk of experiencing distress.
The awareness day is dedicated to honoring the memory of colleagues who have died by suicide and to continue to raise awareness and discussion on how to prevent it.
National Physician Suicide Awareness Day has compiled a list of resources for physicians at
