Abstract

The National Academy of Medicine Plan for Health Workforce Well-Being identifies seven priority areas, including creating positive work environments, addressing burnout and stress, promoting transparency and equity in compensation, providing education and training to promote resilience, enhancing community and social support systems, addressing the stigma associated with seeking help for mental health and substance use disorders and fostering leadership commitment and accountability for workforce well-being. This paper will explore the National Plan for Health Workforce Well-Being, providing an overview of the seven priority areas and offering strategies for implementation in radiology.
