Surgeon Well-Being Coalition

The Surgeon Well-Being Coalition will formulate, design, and enact wellness practices that benefit all surgeons, patients, and families at individual and system levels. The Coalition advocates for healthy, sustainable systems and practices that bring well-being into the day-to-day and beyond crisis management.

Goals

• Share resources and best practices, support research, learn about well-being initiatives, and leverage infrastructure and support to benefit the well-being of all surgeons.
• Bring together all stakeholders, including practice, hospital, and university administrators to work together to address systemic change needed to support surgeon well-being.
• Solve roadblocks present for surgeons who feel that they can no longer practice safely without professional assistance, especially access, and barriers to Physician Health Programs
• Define and share appropriate and effective well-being metrics to include in the ACS’ verification and accreditation programs.
