The MMA is launching a new Community of Practice for physicians passionate about advancing clinician well-being. Whether you’re leading a formal or informal well-being initiative, feeling isolated in this work, or simply want to support your colleagues, you’re invited to join a statewide network focused on sharing strategies, building connections, and creating healthier practice environments.
This informal, peer-driven community welcomes physicians from all practice settings—large systems, small clinics, and everything in between—who want to:
Create a regular, supportive space to connect with peers.
Learn from colleagues and exchange real-world strategies to reduce burnout and restore joy in practice.
Access tools, ideas, and resources to spark or strengthen well-being efforts.
Reduce isolation among informal champions doing this work on their own.
The first meeting will take place, via Zoom, on Tuesday, September 2 from noon to 1 pm.
The group expects to meet quarterly, but participants will help shape the meeting frequency and topics to reflect what’s most helpful.
