- Abstract
- With the objective of informing decision-making regarding physician health initiatives, the Canadian Medical Association (CMA) conducts the National Physician Health Survey (NPHS) to provide insight into health and wellness challenges facing Canadian physicians and medical learners. In the 2021 NPHS, new concepts are introduced that allow for an in-depth comprehension of the workplace factors that contribute to medical professionals' wellness, updating the knowledge gained in the 2017 NPHS.
- The specific objectives of the 2021 NPHS are to measure and track physicians’ and medical learners’ wellness indicators over time and to understand the factors that affect these indicators. Using an equity lens, the study also intends to examine whether specific demographic subgroups have been disproportionately affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. This study will help inform recommendations for systemic change to improve health outcomes for medical learners and physicians.
