Conference

Abstract submission information

Submissions will be accepted Nov. 11, 2024 through Feb. 14, 2025.

Authors are invited to submit abstracts and workshops for consideration as part of the 2025 American Conference on Physician Health (ACPH). “Inspire, innovate, implement: Systemic solutions to strengthen physician well-being” is this year’s conference theme, focusing on creating sustainable improvements in the health care environment. The conference will showcase research, innovation and system-level initiatives to mitigate burnout and promote professional well-being. The conference will also provide a forum for clinicians, researchers, residents/fellows and medical students to present recent research findings, innovative methods and educational programs around physician well-being. The friendly and informal conference environment promotes networking, peer-to-peer learning and activities focused on staying healthy.

 

Abstracts should spotlight research or innovations in one of the following areas:

 

– Wellness-centered organizational culture: Focuses on strategies to foster a workplace environment that prioritizes physician well-being, engagement, positive relationships and professional fulfillment through leadership and cultural change.

– Technology and efficiency of practice: Emphasizes leveraging technology and improving workflows to reduce administrative burdens, enhance clinical efficiency and support professional satisfaction.

– Institutional support for individuals: Highlights the role of institutions in promoting and facilitating self-care practices for physicians, offering resources, programs and systemic changes that encourage personal well-being and healthy personal relationships outside of work.

 

Interested parties will be able to submit their abstracts in one of three categories:

 

– Research abstracts: Completed studies/investigations with measurable results (data) that add to the existing knowledge related to physician well-being.

– Innovation abstracts: Completed programs, projects or approaches, preferably with measurable results, that share a best practice or practical application of a physician well-being strategy.

– Workshops: Skill building, interactive sessions aimed at improving knowledge among attendees working in physician well-being. Straight lectures are not acceptable.

 

Note: Abstracts can be presented as an oral presentation (up to 20 minutes with an additional 5 minutes for Q&A) or in poster format. You may indicate your preference during the submission process. Workshops will be 60 minutes with the last 10-15 minutes reserved for questions and discussion. Both research and non-research based workshops will be considered.
