A longtime resident of California, Gregory Tapson, MD, has cared for patients at his private practice for more than two decades. Dr. Gregory Tapson holds membership with the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP), which recently introduced the Physician Health First initiative to prevent possible cases of burnout among family doctors.
The initiative aims to look after the personal and professional satisfaction of family physicians by encouraging them to produce a well-being plan. Using the Well-being Planner, members can choose among pre-selected goals to attain or enter their own, analyze their progress over time, and provide the AAFP with suggestions on how to improve the program.
The goal of the AAFP Physician Health First initiative is to urge family physicians to perform self-examinations and boost their personal satisfaction in the process. The organization points to a dysfunctional health care system as one of the major causes of physician burnout. In response, the AAFP is committed to decreasing this administrative burden to help its members focus more effectively on their patients.
