What is the value of feeling valued?
The idea of feeling valued by an organization or practice refers to the notion that individual physicians feel like they matter—not purely as deliverers of patient care or generators of RVUs, but as real people, individuals with unique needs to support the best care for their patients and for themselves.
How will this playbook help?
The AMA Value of Feeling Valued Playbook offers strategies to help physicians and other leaders build a culture of wellness and work-life integration for clinicians. This culture includes flexible schedules, protected paid time off, career development, and individual resilience and self-care.
