Equip Yourself to Advance Well-Being at Your Organization
Courses and Conferences
As leaders in the field of clinician well-being, through research and the application of our findings to real-world challenges, the Stanford Medicine WellMD & WellPhD Center is uniquely positioned to equip leaders to catalyze change within their organizations. Our educational offerings empower healthcare leaders to create an organizational culture and practice environment that fosters meaning, purpose, and fulfillment for clinicians, improving clinical outcomes to benefit organizations and the communities they serve.
We offer two distinct courses for two distinct types of leaders:
- The Physician Well-Being Director Course is for leaders who influence physician well-being at the unit (e.g., department/division/group) level.
- The Chief Wellness Officer (CWO) Course and Training Program is for executive leaders with system-wide responsibilities for advancing clinician well-being.
We also co-host the American Conference on Physician Health (ACPH), where alumni from our courses and others who are interested in healthcare well-being can learn from the latest research, hear insights from leaders in the field, and connect with peers who are advancing well-being at their organizations.

This virtual six-week educational series not only provides a foundational understanding of well-being and its drivers, but will equip participants with the tools to catalyze meaningful change for their teams. This course is eligible for CME credit.

Our Chief Wellness Officer Course and Training Program is a one-week immersion course and year-long alumni community for approximately 50 physician well-being leaders who are CWOs or in equivalent executive positions. Drawing from the Stanford Model of Occupational Well-BeingTM and the extensive experience of Stanford Medicine faculty, the course is designed to help participants cultivate expertise in the principles and applications that contribute to physician well-being. This course is eligible for CME credit.
