2021 AAP Med-Peds Section Physician Health and Wellness Virtual Booth Wellness Survey

Balancing Burnout: Assessing and Improving Physician Health and Wellness

The purpose of this survey is to investigate the impact of an educational intervention on physician well-being and burnout and evaluate for potential organizational interventions as well as learn about various ways that the COVID-19 pandemic as impacted your wellbeing. For this project we are recruiting physicians at the 2021 NCE who stop by the VIRTUAL J. H. Milligan-Barr Physician Health and Wellness Exhibit/Booth. If you agree to be part of this project, you will be asked to do the following:

1) Complete a brief survey today,

2) Visit the VIRTUAL J. H. Milligan-Barr Physician Health and Wellness Exhibit/Booth

3) Receive educational information about wellness and burnout

4) Complete a brief survey in ~6 months.

Today we will also ask you to provide your name and email address so that we can send you the monthly educational emails and a follow-up survey in ~6 months. The survey will not be linked to any identifying information.

This project is voluntary and the choice to participate is yours; you will still be able to access information provided as part of the J. H. Mulligan-Barr Physician Health and Wellness Exhibit/Booth if you choose not to participate. We may also contact you in the future with other wellness opportunities, the choice of which to participate will again be yours. The first 100 survey participants will be offered an Amazon gift card as a thank you for participating, which you can accept or decline.
