You’ve seen the research. Now, we’re putting it into action. 💜

Our research reinforced something the AMA Alliance has long understood: physician well-being is family well-being.

This October, we are launching the 2026–2027 Physician Family Wellness Series, a six-part virtual series created to bring physician families expert guidance, practical resources, and conversations about the issues that affect life alongside medicine.

We begin October 15 with The Sick Physician: How Physician Health Programs Heal Doctors and Their Families, featuring Chris Bundy, MD, MPH and Linda Bresnahan, MS.

Because supporting physicians means supporting their families, too.

📅 October 15, 2026
🕛 12:00 PM Eastern
💻 Live virtual event

Research helps us understand the challenges. Community, resources, and support help us respond to them.

Join us as we begin the Physician Family Wellness Series.

What does a career in medicine mean for the family living alongside it? 💜

More than 1,400 physician spouses and partners shared their experiences through the AMA Alliance Physician Family Experience Survey. Their responses are now part of newly published peer-reviewed research in BMC Health Services Research, "Relationship fulfillment among spouses and partners of physicians: findings from the AMA Alliance Physician Family Experience Survey."

Swipe through to see what they told us about relationships, careers, time together, and the ways medicine can follow a physician home.

This publication reflects the AMA Alliance’s commitment to listening to physician families, learning from their experiences, and helping bring those voices into the broader conversation about physician well-being, work-life integration, and family support.

We are proud to recognize the writing team: Lori Boies, Elias Ciudad, Kendra Harvey, Tait D. Shanafelt, Wayne M. Sotile, and Lisa Muehlenbein.

To every spouse and partner who participated: thank you. Your voice mattered then, and it continues to matter now.

You shared. We listened. And now your voices are part of the research. 💜

In 2023, the AMA Alliance invited physician spouses and partners to share their experiences through the Physician Family Experience Survey.

More than 1,400 of you responded.

Today, those experiences are part of the peer-reviewed scientific literature with the publication of new research in BMC Health Services Research. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12913-026-15628-2

For the AMA Alliance, this is about more than publishing a paper. It is about listening to physician families, understanding the challenges they face, and using what we learn to better support our community.

We are also proud of current AMA Alliance members Lori Boies, PhD and Lisa Taylor Muehlenbein, PhD, whose work helped bring those voices into the scientific literature, along with their fellow researchers and collaborators Kendra Harvey, Elias Ciudad, Tait Shanafelt, and Wayne Sotile. This work began with a vision under the leadership of our 2022–2023 AMA Alliance President Jacqueline Nguyen, Esq. and her Board of Directors. Kendra Harvey helped turn that vision into action by distributing the Physician Family Experience Survey.

To every spouse and partner who took the time to share your experience: thank you. Your voice mattered then, and it continues to matter now.

This research is one more way we can help bring the experiences of physician families into the broader conversation about physician well-being.

And we're just getting started.

AMA Alliance President Dinah Goldenberg at the American Medical Association
The AMA Alliance was proudly highlighted at the 2026 meeting of the American Medical Association's House of Delegates in Chicago through this video featuring AMA Alliance President Dinah Goldenberg.

Created by AMA staff, the video showcased the important role of the AMA Alliance in supporting physicians, physician families, and the health of our communities. Dinah's remarks were warmly received by the physician delegates, reflecting a strong appreciation for the vital contributions of physician families and the Alliance's longstanding commitment to service, advocacy, and wellness.

We are grateful for this opportunity to share the AMA Alliance story and to celebrate the enduring partnership between physicians and their families. Thank you, Dinah, for representing our organization with such passion and excellence!
