The UC Irvine School of Medicine and UCI Health have made physician well-being a top initiative. One of our goals is to ensure 24/7 easy access to resources, protecting our valued physicians' wellness and promoting a supportive culture.

The information covered in this guide may or may not currently affect you, but it is important for all physicians to identify risk factors, warning signs or any concerning changes in yourself, as well as in others. Be proactive in taking care of yourself. And if you see someone else struggling, please reach out immediately or notify another person in a position to help.

The areas covered in this resource guide include:

  • Self-Care Fundamentals
  • UC Irvine Resources (mental health, finances, family support)
  • County, State and National Wellness Resources

Take good care of yourself and your colleagues!
