WELLNESS TOPICS

SAEM23 is packed with opportunities to expand your knowledge on critical physician wellness topics. It’s also a great way to expand your community! While our specialty is extremely rewarding, what we do is also challenging and greatly demanding. The didactic sessions offered at this year’s annual meeting address issues that often compromise our physical and mental health, lead to burnout, and in extremes, physician suicide. The SAEM Wellness Committee offers a wonderful opportunity to learn how each of us, individually and as a community, can be part of the change in the culture of academic emergency medicine. Check out and plan to attend some of the engaging lectures being offered at SAEM23 that cover career building, mental health, moral injury, self-advocacy, resource utilization, creating a sense of belonging, and much more!
