Abstract
This white paper underscores the importance of supporting physicians’ personal and professional sustainability throughout their medical careers. From addressing mental health stigma and fostering well-being during residency to balancing career advancement and personal fulfillment mid-career, the Well-Being Arc highlights tailored solutions like peer coaching, work-life resources, and leadership development. For late-career physicians, it emphasizes legacy-building, adaptability and mentorship. By introducing sustainable strategies at each stage and across generations — such as confidential peer support, clinician focused well-being programs, and leadership consultations, this approach enhances resilience, reduces burnout, and improves career satisfaction and longevity. The result: physicians remain engaged and effective contributors to your healthcare organization while thriving in all dimensions of their lives.
