Physician Suicide and Stigma

Tuesday, November 2, 2021, 2:00 PM - 3:30 PM EST

Physician suicide is a major cause for concern, but is often taboo to discuss to address this systemic and individual tragedy. This session will discuss the resistance and reasons why physicians choose not to seek help and what appropriate action can be taken to reduce this major professional and public health crisis.

This conference is restricted to Beaumont/OUWB providers and employees only.

1. Recognize the physician suicide crisis in modern health care
2. Describe the stigma and barriers to self-care and help seeking behaviors among physicians
3. Implement steps and tools to begin to challenge and change the endemic culture issues in medicine

This session is available for OUWB and Beaumont providers and staff only. 

The session will take place via Zoom and can be accessed here: https://oakland-edu.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJctf-2qqz4tGtdflebYC3BDQ2XF5cEP983c
