Using qualitative interview data, this article explores physicians’ perceptions of their colleagues’ awareness of the link between physician wellness and quality of care. Our findings suggest that many physicians believe the link between physicians’ well being and the quality of care they provide their patients is not necessarily at the forefront of most doctors’ awareness. The data also details factors that may explain this finding, reflecting on the culture of medicine and physicians’ overwhelming workload. Significant deterrents preventing physicians from thinking about wellness are self identification of invincibility and external pressures. The study advises peers, patients, employing organizations, and the health care system to appreciate and support physicians in protecting and maintaining their personal well being.
