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.
