The PFSP is proud to introduce some of the skilled Assessment Physicians (AP's) who support callers through the PFSP Assistance Line. Learn about their unique experiences and what being a peer supporter means to them.
"Being there for my colleagues when they need someone is a true privilege."
"It’s incredibly rewarding to help someone feel even a little better by the end of a call than they did at the beginning—and to connect them with resources such as counselling or therapy that can provide ongoing support."
"As a PFSP Assessment Physician, I have the privilege of walking alongside colleagues as they face life challenges, offering a safe and confidential space where physicians and their families can feel heard and supported with compassion, understanding, and a connection to resources to support their well-being."
"I feel a big boost in fulfillment after each of my call weeks, knowing my life journeys helped me to help others."
"...it has been incredible to hear about all the other facets of our physicians’ experiences: stories of genuine empathy, of joy at a job well done even in the most challenging circumstances and the desire of our physicians to be the very best that they can be for themselves and for their patients despite the hardships that they endure."
"What surprised me was how much physicians need space to speak and be heard. To have someone who listens and understands the pressures they are under is so powerful."
