Investing in Physicians Is Investing in Patients: Enhancing Patient Safety Through Physician Health and Well-being Research.
Journal of Patient Safety 2017 July 21

Supporting investigations that examine physician health often "fall through the cracks" of traditional funding opportunities, landing somewhere between patient safety and workforce development priorities. To address this, funders must extend the scope of current grant opportunities by broadening the scope of patient safety and its relationship to physician health.

Ultimately, funding studies of physician health benefits not only the community of doctors but also the millions of patients receiving care each year.
