For too long, the culture of medicine has perpetuated a dangerous facade of "only the strongest can work without sleep". Growing beneath the surface of this false narrative has been an ever increasing loss of self, and with it sky rocketing physician mental illness and suicide. We must work together to change this narrative, and in this lecture I share how we can do so as a physician collective. Let us be the change we so desperately need!

Target Audience: Physicians

• Learning Objectives
  - Discuss the false narrative of "strength" in medicine, and how it has been perpetuated for far too long
  - Discuss the product of this false narrative, shedding light on mental health struggles in our physician community
  - Describe how we can combat this culture, through speaking up, sharing our stories, and empowering physicians to seek help through expanded resources at our healthcare institutions (ie, dedicated behavioral health centers for health work force, licensing questions, etc)
