Medscape delivers dynamic, innovative education to optimize learner engagement and patient outcomes worldwide. We are the largest medical education provider, delivering precision education for actionable outcomes across 30+ specialties in 40+ formats, using the latest digital and live techniques.

May is Mental Health Awareness month and Medscape is connecting to the conversation around mental health by shining a spotlight on this critical topic through education and insights.

Through innovative, accessible, and engaging activities, impactful thought leadership initiatives, and working with leading faculty and partners, we are encouraging our members worldwide to join us in connecting to the conversation around mental health for themselves and their patients.

Last year was especially tough for physicians: The isolating quarantine of 2020 was over, but in 2021, physicians were trying to get back to work while dealing with reduced staff, COVID stress, and the anxiety of having kids heading back to school amid the ongoing pandemic. More than 13,000 physicians in 29 specialties told us about their battles with mental health and how they’re coping with burnout. For example, 54%* of physicians surveyed indicated burnout is having a severe impact on their lives.
