Building peer support that works
Transform your healthcare organization with a peer support program that truly makes an impact. Peer support isn’t just improving health care—it’s revolutionizing it by providing vital, customized support to clinicians and staff exactly when they need it most. When implemented with care, these programs strengthen the workplace by building a culture of compassion, trust and psychological safety.
Sustainable peer support programs don’t happen by accident—they require strategic planning, strong infrastructure and ongoing organizational commitment. With the right approach, your program can elevate staff well-being, enhance patient safety and reinforce the core values that fuel excellence in care.
Unlock the full potential of peer support with the AMA Peer Support Workshop. This immersive, two-day experience is crafted specifically for clinical and operational leaders ready to launch or reinvigorate a powerful peer support program. Walk away with practical tools, proven strategies and operational insights designed to help you create an evidence-informed peer support initiative that meets your organization’s unique needs. Whether you’re starting fresh or seeking to invigorate an existing program, the AMA Peer Support Workshop empowers you to deliver lasting impact for your team and your patients.
The Peer Support Workshop is part of the AMA’s Career Advancement Collective, an initiative designed to support future leaders in healthcare and shape the next generation of physician CEOs.
