- Abstract
- The Canadian Medical Association (CMA) has recognized physician health and wellness as an important priority. Physician health and wellness is an important issue and a growing concern within the medical profession. Despite an abundance of international data, recent national Canadian data on key indicators of physician health is limited – a critical gap in knowledge. It is important to acknowledge and assess specific issues, to properly refine, select and evaluate future initiatives. Indeed, the recently released CMA Policy on Physician Health recommends that national data for major health and wellness indicators be assessed at regular intervals to establish and compare norms and to better target and assess initiatives.
