Our Founding Members met virtually to discuss our visions for this SIG. They shared a number of opinions regarding the topic of wellness among anesthesiologists, such as:

• Personal wellness is essential to optimal patient care.
• Wellness extends well beyond the current hot-topic of “burnout.”
• The ASRA Pain Medicine community has tremendous potential to promote member wellness.

At the same time, we universally acknowledged the uniquely personal nature of and paths to wellness. All of us were impressed by the depth and breadth of our introductions to one another.

Future newsletters will feature members of our SIG and what wellness means to them. If you want to share your wellness journey, please complete our survey form. Our leadership team is featured below. Click on the image to read more about our journeys.
