We CARE GME Physician Peer Support  

As a GME physician, you face unique challenges and pressures. However, it's important to remember that you don't have to face them alone. The WE CARE GME Physician Peer Support Program is available to provide the help and support you need. 

Peer Support is one component of actively transforming our UC San Diego Health culture by giving us the opportunity to connect, share challenges, and support each other. When stressed and distressed, most physicians initially prefer to get support from peers rather than mental health providers. Someone who has been there or is there. 

The WE CARE GME Physician Peer Support Program is our way of meeting that preference by supporting each other. 

Request Peer Support

 UC San Diego GME physicians can request confidential peer support sessions with trained UC San Diego physician peer supporters. A peer supporter may reach out to you and offer to connect through phone call, Zoom, or in-person. 

 You can request peer support in three ways:

1. Scan the QR code
2. Complete the intake form 
3. Contact Dr. Julie Celebi (GME Wellness Director) at gmewellness@health.ucsd.edu
