Please welcome the new members of our Peer Support Team! We have 25 new members coming from all areas of the Service. They have just completed 4 days of training on psychological first aid and Critical Stress Management. They are ready to help! #HerosAreHuman#PTSD
This is beyond sad. A resident physician took his own life on Christmas. Unfortunately, it's far too common. 'Suicide is the #1 cause of death among male resident physicians in the U.S.' We need to come together as a medical community to save these lives.
