Wellness Resources
The American Society of Plastic Surgeons recognizes the challenges faced by our member physicians as well as trainees and support staff in the daily care of patients.
Wellness Task Force
In 2018, an ASPS Presidential initiative was begun to establish the Wellness Task Force. This task force was charged with exploring approaches to improve our physician membership well-being. As part of this initiative, ASPS is conducting member surveys to further evaluate stressors and barriers to healthy practice and well-being. To better address burnout in our profession we hope to focus our efforts on:
- Identifying individual and institutional stressors
- Improving awareness of collaborative efforts within the medical field to address burnout
- Provide our members with a broad community of physicians and online resources dedicated to improving wellness
- Encourage participation in workshops, lectures and national meetings dedicated to wellness
- Develop sustainable strategies for our membership to cope with individual and institutional stressors.
