Being a doctor is tough, especially in a post-pandemic world. Never has the field of doctors’ health been so stretched by need. Senior doctors, and medical leaders in particular, have been particularly taxed, as have their families. Unpacking some of the insights gleaned about medical leadership and wisdom in medicine, and conversely when this is lacking, is important for the sake of patients and doctors alike. In this symposium we will address new perspectives in doctors’ health tailored to this new healthcare world. Topics include: (i) Systemic interventions to support senior medical leadership; (ii) Wisdom in medicine; (iii) The dysfunctional or disruptive physician in healthcare; (iv) Senior doctors and their families; (v) Medical retirement in a post-pandemic world. Strong audience participation will be encouraged in this symposium.
