Develop CME programs on physician stress and burnout, as well as the peer support model, recruiting a cadre of doctors to do such CME presentations;
Seek grants or other funding to support CME, study of burnout, and program activities in an enduring way;
Continue collaboration with other organizations on burnout reduction and wellness efforts;
Develop a peer support model to all county societies, hospitals/hospital systems, and practices through grants or other funding (Adopted, Council 1/19/17)
Distribute to MSSNY membership burnout survey data coupled with a preliminary plan for interventions; beginning with distribution of survey results at the 2017 House of Delegates and CME presentations during the weekend;
