Physician Support Line was created with the mission of physicians supporting physicians as we navigate the many professional and personal intersections of our lives.
For many of our colleagues, discrimination, bigotry, and intolerance towards disadvantaged and unjustly marginalized groups is an undeniable detriment to every aspect of their mental well-being.
We volunteer psychiatrists at Physician Support Line are from diverse backgrounds. We promise to provide emotional support and a safe space for physicians and medical students who are affected by discrimination, bigotry, and intolerance, which we absolutely condemn in all forms. We stand in solidarity with all our medical student and physician colleagues.
We also support full reproductive rights.
What Is Physician Support Line?
Physician Support Line is a national, free, and confidential support line made up of hundreds of volunteer psychiatrists joined together in the determined hope to provide peer support for our American physician and medical student colleagues as we all navigate our professional and personal lives.
