Session Title
Well Doc Alberta is working with interested groups of physicians (e.g., Divisions, Departments, community physicians, rural physicians) to develop, train, launch, and sustain their own formal physician-to-physician peer support team. The 4-step development process involves 1) a 1-hour initial meeting to understand your group and to discuss readiness, feasibility, and timelines, 2) a 1.5-hour information session with details on how to develop a peer support team, 3) a 4-hour training session to formally train members of the peer support team about how to safely provide peer support to their colleagues, and 4) ongoing support to sustain your team through membership in the Well Doc Alberta Peer Support Team Network (includes training events to enhance peer supporter skills, emotional support opportunities to help sustain the team, etc.).
