Session Description:
One-to-one peer support programs are becoming more widespread among healthcare institutions and academic medical centers. The ONE 2 ONE 2 CARE peer support program was developed to train faculty and physicians in peer support techniques to provide one-on-one episodic support for distressed peers who reach out to them as trusted colleagues. Peer supporters provided on-site real-time support when challenging situations arise. Learn about our experiences and outcomes and how we are now implementing this program with residents. Come learn about the program’s components, lessons learned, and implementation considerations.
