Together with county medical societies, district branches and the Committee for Physician Health, the Medical Society of the State of New York will develop a series of programs, which may include CME credit, to assist physicians in early identification and management of stress. The programs will concentrate on the physical, emotional and psychological aspects of responding to and handling stress in physicians’ professional and personal lives, and when to seek professional assistance for stress-related difficulties.
