abstract="INTRODUCTION: Physician wellness has garnered significant recent national attention within graduate medical education (GME). Unfortunately, the resources to proactively address burnout, depression, and suicide are lacking. The &quot;Time to Talk About It: Physician Depression and Suicide&quot; video/discussion session is specifically designed for the GME community. <br><br>METHODS: The primary focus of this 60-minute video/discussion session is to promote an open dialogue among interns, residents, and fellows about depression and suicide within the profession of medicine. The centerpiece of the session is a 7-minute video featuring personal accounts from physicians at the San Antonio Uniformed Services Health Education Consortium (SAUSHEC). The materials associated with the publication include the video, a guide for facilitating group discussion following the video, a list of questions to guide small-group discussions, a session evaluation form, and examples of mental health resources for distribution at the end of the session. <br><br>RESULTS: A field test of the video/discussion session with 22 trainees from the pediatrics residency program at SAUSHEC was very well received. Their average response to &quot;This session was an effective first step in promoting an open dialogue among physicians about depression and suicide within the profession&quot; was 4.5 out of 5 (i.e., Strongly Agree). One hundred percent of participants answered &quot;Yes&quot; to the question &quot;Would you recommend this session to other physicians?&quot; DISCUSSION: We hope that this resource will be useful to other institutions around the country as they confront physician burnout, depression, and suicide.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
