Leading change in physician well-being
Since the program’s launch in 2019, the AMA’s Joy in Medicine™ Health System Recognition Program has honored over 150 health systems for their dedication to physician well-being.
We’re fighting for you and your patients.
Making it safe to seek mental health care
The AMA has partnered with the Dr. Lorna Breen Heroes’ Foundation, Federation of State Medical Boards and many others to remove stigmatizing questions about treatment for mental health and substance use disorders from licensing and credentialing applications.
Helping physicians save time
To address burnout, the AMA provides physicians with strategies to improve processes and use time-saving workflows.
Tackling physician burnout at the system level
A study co-authored with Mayo Clinic, University of Colorado School of Medicine and Stanford Medicine found 45.2% of physicians reported at least one burnout symptom in 2023. AMA continuously works with health systems to fight the causes of this crisis.
