National Physician Suicide Awareness Day: NAM is focusing on physician well-being through PROSPER.

National Physician Suicide Awareness Day (#NPSADay) is September 17. We can all help prevent physician burnout and suicide by learning the signs, starting the conversations, understanding the underlying barriers and sharing the resources that can help those in distress seek mental health care.

Burnout - In response to the growing concern of burnout among physicians, NAM and the Medical Foundation of Nashville have created a confidential, completely anonymous, two-minute survey to understand the level of burnout among physicians in our community. 2022 Prosper Physician Burnout Survey
Vital Signs - Click here to learn the vital signs if you or someone you know is struggling.
Crisis - Tennessee Crisis Hotline - 1-855-274-7471

Join Us for Our Resident and Student Social on September 20!

Practicing and Retired Members - This is a great opportunity for practicing and retired members to spend just 30 minutes to encourage and mentor the next generation of physicians.

Medical Students and Residents - Do you want to learn how to get involved in organized medicine, from the local to the national level? Or, do you just want to know more about the Nashville Academy of Medicine (NAM) and free membership in NAM and TMA for medical students and residents?

Join NAM and medical students, residents and fellow leaders from Nashville for all of the above, drinks and light hors d’oeuvres on Tuesday, September 20, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.

Thank you to our host and Presenting Sponsor – Kenect Nashville! We will be gathering on their beautiful, private outdoor amenity deck with sunset views.
