The Medical Society of Virginia Foundation administers many programs to help physicians, PAs, medical students, and residents across Virginia. Some of these programs include SafeHaven™, the Virginia Mental Health Access Program, and the Physician Leadership Institute.
SafeHaven™ is a clinician well-being program that ensures healthcare workers can seek support for burnout, career fatigue, and mental health reasons without the fear of undue repercussions to their medical license.
The Virginia Mental Health Access Program (VMAP), is a statewide initiative that helps healthcare providers take better care of children and adolescents with mental health conditions through provider education and increasing access to child psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, and care navigators.
The Physician Leadership Institute, (PLI) trains physicians to be transformative, innovative leaders in their workplace, and SYNC is a team-based learning experience that teaches collaboration and leadership through hands-on problem solving.
Each of these programs are vital to supporting physicians, residents, PAs, and medical students, and in turn patients and communities.
