Call to Action

The National Academy of Medicine (NAM) announced in January that more than 130 organizations across the U.S. — including associations, hospital and medical systems, universities, and professional societies — have joined NAM in declaring their commitment to reducing burnout and promoting well-being among clinicians.

To provide an opportunity for organizations around the country to discuss and share plans of action, the NAM recently called for and has collected statements describing current work and future goals to reverse clinician burnout. By making a visible commitment to improving the well-being of clinicians, these groups join the NAM’s Action Collaborative on Clinician Well-Being and Resilience as network organizations.
