President’s Message (continued)
Lastly, I would like to expand the services available within our Physician Wellness Program (PWP) and increase its utilization. Established in 2018, the PWP was created when the HCMA saw the pressing concerns of physician burnout and wanted to de- sign a program to provide free, confidential counseling sessions with licensed mental health counselors and psychologists for our members. We held an initial wellness seminar to kick off the pro- gram with Dr. Dike Drummond, a national expert in burn-out prevention. It was well-attended and well-received, and even pro- vided 1.5 hours of CME. I would like to see additional seminars and/or educational programs provided, as well as an increased role for coaching services within the program. The PWP remains a valuable resource for our members, and we want to keep the program aligned with its mission to enhance HCMA members’ lives professionally and personally.
In closing, I am honored to have been selected as a leader with- in the HCMA and humbled to take the reins of our great organi- zation for the next year. I would like to thank the prior leaders who have guided me along the way and the great HCMA staff for all the support they provide. Thank you for continuing to support the HCMA. I look forward to a productive year ahead!
