Event Overview: This Special Feature Webinar describes the detrimental impacts to health care providers of significant career events such as adverse outcomes of care, litigation, adverse licensure actions, deployment, career transition and COVID-19. Evidence-based interventions and recommendations are provided for colleagues, peers and leadership to support providers through these events, and the scrutiny and stress that often accompany them. The educational content has been developed by an internationally recognized subject matter expert in the fields of peer support and health care provider resiliency. The primary focus of this event is to improve the ability of Military Health System (MHS) providers to support their colleagues in an empathetic and productive manner after a significant career stressor; and to ensure that all MHS health care providers have access to a safe, non-judgmental resource that supports emotional, physical and professional well-being after these events.
After this webinar, participants will be able to:
- Recognize effects of adverse events on clinicians.
- Demonstrate skills for providing peer support to colleagues.
- Discuss methods for overcoming barriers (organizational and professional) to peer support.
- Develop a support structure to assist clinicians when going through rapid change, transitions and uncertainty.

Aerospace Medicine Program Director and NAMI Academics Director
Please see the announcement below from the Flight Surgery Specialty Leader:
Colleagues,
I know a few of you have already talked to me or have asked about both the Program Director for the Aerospace Medicine Residency as well as the NAMI Academics Director for the flight surgeon program. The PD billet typically come with an extended set of orders, although they may be only written for 3 years, 5-6 years is not atypical. The Academics Director job is typically a 3-4 year billet. I lay this out so you know what you are getting yourselves into and understand this is not a 2 years and then retire plan. There is a small number of you that are eligible for these positions and this e-mail is directed at you, but I will be sending the announcement to the Corps Chief’s Office as well. There may be some interest outside of AMS for the Academics Director position, but that individual will need to have been active in flight surgery recently. The PD job obviously requires you to be board certified is Aerospace Medicine, so if you are not currently BC, then you need to sit for your boards in OCT and pass them. Research, leadership positions and the breadth of your experience will also factor into your application.
The application will include your biography, CV and a separate personal statement for each position. For each position, address you’re your motivation to assume that job and what your vision for the program is over a 5 and 10 year period. I know you will not be there for 10 years, but what do you want the program to look like in the future. How will increased UAV usage effect training? What about the gradual conversion of “GMO/OMO”’s to board certified physicians. How would that impact Flight Surgery Training? How would straight through training effect the RAM and what would that internship look like? These are some real questions that may need to be addressed during your time in the seat. Please keep this to 1-2 pages.
We will have a board to review the applications who will then select the next PD and Academics Director. The board will consist of the NAMI OIC, the incumbent, myself .and former TYCOM surgeons.
I know everyone is under different stresses, depending on their current billet, but please send me you applicant packages NLT 18 September. The intent is to have a decision made by October, so turnover plans can begin and the incoming PD and Academics Director can participate in resident selection as well as flight surgeon selection.
Please note this date is different than what I have on the announcement, since I did not get this out yesterday as expected.
Thanks!
V/R,
Rob
