Peer to Peer (P2P) Program:
Stress and burnout among physicians have been documented for years. The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the public health problem of physician burnout in New York state. Throughout the pandemic, physicians and other health professionals have faced concerns about safety, overwork and feelings of loss. Without an intervention, it is possible that a high number of physicians over the next few years may develop chronic stress reactions, anger, clinical depression, substance abuse, post-traumatic stress disorder and suicidality. MSSNY’s P2P program allows physicians, residents, and medical students to talk with a peer about work or life stressors.
If you wish to become a trained peer supporter, please reach out to Emily Rento, Program Coordinator.
If someone you know is struggling with life stressors, reach out to the P2P program to connect them to a peer supporter. Email [email protected] or call 1-844-P2P-PEER (1-844-727-7337) and request that you be connected with a peer supporter.
