- Abstract
- With physicians and medical learners experiencing unprecedented levels of personal and professional distress, supporting health and wellness in medicine has never been more important. The Canadian Medical Association (CMA) is committed to bringing the profession together to work to achieve our shared vision of better health, health care and a thriving health workforce. With this in mind, the CMA conducts a national survey every three to four years to monitor health and wellness trends among physicians in Canada. Even before the global COVID-19 pandemic was declared in March 2020, research showed physicians are at a high risk of developing symptoms of burnout, depression and other psychological distress (2017 NPHS).
