February 8, 2005

 

TORONTO - The Canadian Medical Association is offering a special program to help doc­tors deal more positively with their health. The physician health profes­sional development program consists of four modules over two days, looking at such is­sues as health status, physician impairment, disruptive behav­iour, suicide prevention, creat­ing healthy workplaces and managing personal well-being. Course faculty members include Dr. Michael Kaufmann, the Ontario Medical Associa­tion's physician health program director; Dr. Michael Myers, a Vancouver-based psychiatrist and physician health special­ist; and Dr. Mamta Gautam, an Ottawa psychiatrist who limits her practice to physicians.
