Seeking help with AAMCNews article on obstacles to mental health treatment for physicians during the pandemic

  • 1.  Seeking help with AAMCNews article on obstacles to mental health treatment for physicians during the pandemic

    During the pandemic, physicians often face tremendous stress and burnout, yet some may be reluctant to seek treatment for fear of hurting their careers. I'm seeking interviewees for an AAMCNews article on this issue. Due to the sensitivity of the topic, we are happy to protect interviewees' anonymity. 

    We are looking for physicians who have experienced emotional issues during the pandemic but who didn't seek or were hesitant to seek care because of concern about their medical license or a similar career-related issue. I imagine we would speak for around 30 minutes. If you are willing to be interviewed or know someone who is, please contact me at stweiner@aamc.org

    Thanks very much.
