In Real Life: The Pitt & the PHP with Edwin Kim, MD

Join us for a conversation with Edwin Kim, MD, medical director of Pennsylvania’s Physicians’ Health Program (PA PHP), as we explore how The Pitt portrays physician burnout, substance use disorder, and the critical work of the PHP in its Season 2 storyline. Through Dr. Frank Langdon’s monitored return to practice and Dr. Robby’s lingering COVID‑era PTSD and burnout, the show illuminates real challenges facing Pennsylvania’s health care workforce. We reflect on why taking a timely look at these issues is essential to advancing the PHP's mission to support safe practice and protect the public. To learn more about the mission and work of the PA PHP, visit https://wwfoundationpamp.org/php.Visit www.pamedsoc.org for more.
