Wellness engagement groups hold monthly discussions to cultivate professional fulfillment and provide support to physician colleagues. Meetings are currently held virtually but will possibly meet in person when public health protocols allow. Groups are led by volunteer physician facilitators, and participants reflect all specialties, practice settings and backgrounds. We invite you to become a physician facilitator to lead a wellness engagement group. The facilitator receives support in the form of training materials and discussion questions. Facilitators are: ■ Willing to complete an application and disclosure form ■ Willing to take on the responsibility of hosting and facilitating a group ■ Passionate about the well-being of colleagues ■ Willing to recruit colleagues to form a group ■ Able to have a neutral voice during group discussions ■ Able to respect confidentiality ■ Great communicators Please see our Frequently Asked Questions for more information. If you are interested in facilitating a group, please complete and submit a facilitator application. We encourage facilitators to recruit a group of 6-8 colleges to form a group. However, it is not required and CMA Wellness and LACMA can assist facilitators with forming groups, as needed. As a facilitator, you choose the day and time to hold the monthly groups. Participant enrollment will open in mid-December. We hope you will consider joining this exciting opportunity and serving as a wellness champion for your colleagues.
