Ohio Academy of Family Physicians (OAFP) member Rebecca Yeager, MD, of Beavercreek, OH, recently completed a 10-month long certificate program from the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) called “Leading Physician Well-Being” (LPW).
Dr. Yeager was one of 120 physicians selected from a national pool to participate in the inaugural year of this program, which was created to provide leadership development, training in physician well-being advocacy, and performance improvement project skill-building. Each developed a System Well-Being Improvement Project (SWIP) and presented this to their peers in a final Project Showcase in October.
Dr. Yeager graduated from the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine and completed her residency in family medicine at the University of Cincinnati Christ Hospital. She is part of the Kettering Health Group and practices at the Soin Family Medicine Residency Program in Beavercreek.
AAFP LPW Scholars completing this certificate are well-positioned to fill leadership roles within health care systems where they can create value around physician well-being which honors the doctor-patient relationship. This leads to a more productive and engaged physician workforce and a better-served, and therefore healthier, patient population.
Congratulations, Dr. Yeager!
