The American Medical Association developed the Joy in Medicine® Health System Recognition Program to empower health systems to reduce burnout and build well-being so that physicians and their patients can thrive.

Objectives

  • Provide guidelines (PDF) for health system leaders interested in implementing programs and policies that actively support well-being.
  • Unite the health care community in building a culture committed to increasing joy in medicine for the profession nationwide.
  • Build awareness of solutions that promote joy in medicine and spur investment within health systems to reduce physician burnout.
