The Value of Feeling Valued Playbook

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. 

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.

What you’ll get

This playbook provides five practical strategies for organizations to support their individual physicians: offering flexibility and autonomy in scheduling, supporting time off, facilitating professional development, promoting resilience and self-care, and providing care during and after trauma. Together, these approaches help create a supportive environment that addresses physicians' diverse needs, enhancing their well-being and overall job satisfaction.

Anyone interested in improving the culture of wellness and work-life integration for clinicians can learn from the content outlined and linked to within this playbook.
