Physician Discussion Groups

Rediscovering Meaning In Our Work

Physician Discussion Group

One rarely knows where to begin the search for meaning,

though by necessity, we can only start where we are…

It somehow has to do with sticking together as we try to make sense of chaos,

and that seems a way to begin.

According to a study at Mayo Clinic published in JAMA, physicians who participated in facilitated physician discussion groups reported increased empowerment and engagement at work - and the number of participants strongly agreeing that their work was meaningful increased.

In response to studies highlighting the value of ongoing physician discussion groups, we have organized a Rediscovering Meaning In Our Work physician discussion group in Boise.

Each month, we explore a topic relevant to physicians. Our discussions are focused on physician well- being, meaningful work and fulfillment in our lives.

Please join us for relaxed conversations with peers. You are welcome to participate whenever it is convenient. We currently meet via Zoom.
