Research tells us that 30% of Manitoba’s and Canada’s physicians and medical learners were already experiencing burnout prior to the pandemic, especially residents, female physicians, and those in their first five years of practice. We also know that physicians are experiencing high rates of depression and suicidal ideation, with residents and female physicians most at risk.

Doctors Manitoba has supported the development of physician-led health and wellness services for decades through the Physicians at Risk Program, the Physician and Family Support Program, and MDCare. We know that comprehensive physician health programming needs to encompass prevention and reducing stigma for help seeking behaviours, have treatment programs specific to the needs to physicians and medical learners and move beyond the focus on individual interventions. Healthy environments for physicians mean better outcomes for patients.
