Recognizing that personal finances can be a hidden stressor for physicians (despite assumptions that all doctors are financially secure), some organizations explicitly include financial health in their wellness programming. For instance, the Surgeon General’s 2022 framework for healthcare worker well-being included “protection from financial harm” as a component . An organization might respond by, say, offering free disability insurance counseling or group malpractice insurance discounts, which reduce financial anxiety. One resource on this is a white paper by TIAA on healthcare worker financial wellness linking it to mental health . Implementing recommendations from such resources (like providing debt management resources) shows proactive improvement of financial wellness.
