Physicians are at a higher risk for suicidal ideation and completing suicide compared to professionals in other fields. They are also at risk for occupation burnout, which can lead to depression and suicide. The literature demonstrates that at-risk physicians are less likely to seek care for mental health conditions because they fear they will be stigmatized and affect their license to practice. 

Learning Objectives:

• Learners will be able to identify and address the warning signs and risk factors of physician suicide and burnout.
• The confidence of learners to identify and support at-risk physicians will improve.  
• Learners' ability to implement intervention using available resources will increase.
• Learners will increase their awareness of physicians' stressors and why their resilience may be worn down in the current healthcare environment.
