Emergency physician professionalism versus wellness: A conceptual model

Abstract

Abstract Striking the balance between professional duties, obligations, and responsibility with protecting one's wellness as a physician and as an individual have been brought into sharper focus during COVID‐19. The objective of this paper is to describe ethical principles in the balance between emergency physician wellness and professional responsibility to patients and the public. We propose a schematic that helps us as emergency physicians visualize continuously striving to be both well and professional.
