Another form of champion is through physician-led committees that recognize and reinforce physician engagement. For instance, Cleveland Clinic’s 27,000-member Alumni Association runs an Awards Committee that annually honors physicians for exemplary service, leadership, and caring . Leaders like Dr. Richard Lang of Cleveland Clinic note that formally recognizing physicians boosts morale and loyalty . By tasking a group of physician leaders (champions) with organizing such recognition (and other resilience programs), organizations demonstrate tangible support for physician well-being and create role models who champion a positive, collegial culture.
