Welcome to Physicians First – a podcast series that explores unique and home-grown wellness initiatives that are impacting the lives and livelihoods of Canada’s physicians. In this series, we’ll introduce you to the people creating customized solutions that improve physician health and wellness and strengthen the medical profession; whether through coaching programs, peer support groups, or leadership training sessions. And you’ll hear how these initiatives are making a difference to physicians. The Canadian Medical Association, MD Financial Management, and Scotiabank together are firmly committed to putting physicians first, supporting the medical profession, and advancing health in Canada. As proof of this commitment, and in collaboration with the Canadian Medical Association, and MD Financial Management, Scotiabank is investing 115 million dollars over 10 years to support physicians and the communities they serve across Canada. This podcast is just one of many initiatives. Physicians First is hosted by Dr. Caroline Gérin-Lajoie, a psychiatrist and physician wellness expert.
