Today, I had the pleasure of speaking with students at Morehouse School of Medicine (@morehouseschoolofmedicine). We spoke about the health worker pipeline and the importance of representation in the health workforce—present and future.
Health worker training programs can help address burnout by building a culture and community of support. These elements are essential for wellbeing, and they set up trainees for success.
My new Advisory identifies these factors and more are central to addressing health worker burnout: https://surgeongeneral.gov/burnout
I look forward to seeing the tremendous contributions @morehouseschoolofmedicine students will make in their communities in the years ahead.
