NAM Action Collaborative

SAEM is a proud, inaugural sponsor of the  National Academy of Medicine Action Collaborative on Clinician Well-Being and Resilience — a network of more than 60 organizations formed in 2017 and committed to reversing trends in clinician burnout by raising the visibility of clinician anxiety, burnout, depression, stress, and suicide; improving baseline understanding of challenges to clinician well-being; and advancing evidence-based, multidisciplinary solutions to improve patient care by caring for the caregiver.

The Action Collaborative is composed of  five working groups that will meet over the course of four years to identify evidence-based strategies to improve clinician well-being at both the individual and systems levels. Products and activities of these five working groups include an online knowledge hub, a series of NAM Perspectives discussion papers, and an all-encompassing conceptual model that reflects the domains affecting clinician well-being.
