In 2016, in partnership with the Physicians Foundation, Health Affairs launched the Practice of Medicine article series focusing on important health policy issues affecting physicians.
The effort has produced a comprehensive collection of policy research in the field.
On Thursday, September 22, Health Affairs Editor-in-Chief Alan Weil will host an online forum examining "Physician Burnout, Workforce Strain, and Lessons from COVID-19," focusing on recent work featured in the Practice of Medicine series and broader issues confronting medical professionals.
The event will take place just a week after National Physician Suicide Awareness Day (September 17).

Coming In October:
Disability And Health
More than thirty years after the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was signed into law, people with disabilities continue to face inequities in the health care system with respect to access and outcomes. Disparities in education, employment, housing, and transportation are also barriers to achieving health equity.
The October 2022 issue of Health Affairs provides a comprehensive, scholarly look at the relationship between disability and health. We expect it to help shape the agenda for research and policy for many years to come.
You are invited to join us for a month full of events highlighting this important work. Please save the date for the events below, and stay tuned for additional announcements about our programming.
