Adverse events and stressful patient situations are common occurrences in obstetrics and gynecology practice. Historically, there have been limited institutional mechanisms to aid in physician coping after adverse events. The goal of this initiative was to identify the need for a support structure and begin to create and implement a formal departmental resource for physician peer support.
