The SAEM Consensus Conference will kick off with a presentation on the current state of wellness in medicine and why it is urgent that this important topic be addressed. This introduction will be followed by three breakout sessions involving internal factors of wellness, and will conclude with a group summary. A lunchtime panel will discuss varying perspectives in wellness. Afterward, there will be a return to breakout groups to discuss the three external factors related to wellness in medicine. This will be followed by a large group review. The conference day will conclude with a presentation discussing “Where do we go from here?” by Dr. Timothy Brigham, MDiv, PhD, chief of staff and senior vice president, education and co-chair of the Physician Well-Being Task Force at the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME).

Supported in part by the American Academy of Emergeny Medicine (AAEM), American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP), and the Council of Residency Directors in Emergency Medicine (CORD).
