Peer Support Program

School of Medicine

Three medical professionals

All OHSU School of Medicine faculty, residents and fellows are eligible to receive free, confidential peer support.

Peer support is an accessible and powerful intervention that can reduce distress and promote wellness among healthcare providers, particularly after an adverse event.

The Resident and Faculty Wellness Program (RFWP) developed this peer support program to provide trained clinical faculty peer supporters who are available to OHSU School of Medicine faculty, fellows, and residents.

If you have been exposed to an adverse event, a peer supporter may reach out to you to offer peer support. Our goal at the peer support program is to reach out to every School of Medicine faculty, fellow, and resident exposed to a major adverse event.

If you would like to inform us of an adverse event and who might have been involved so that we can offer peer support services, please contact us.
