Abstract

Pharmacy faculty commonly report feeling stressed, overwhelmed, exhausted, and burnt out. Women may be disproportionally impacted by personal and professional demands. The purpose of this commentary is to describe one mechanism for creating a suborganization (Circle) that establishes a supportive community to combat burnout and promote professional fulfillment. This commentary is a description of one American Academy of Colleges of Pharmacy (AACP) Women Faculty Special Interest Group (SIG) Circle. The authors describe how one Circle sought to enhance the well-being of its members through the various domains of the Stanford Model of Professional Fulfillment, including personal resilience, workplace efficiency, and creating a culture of well-being. Circles and similar frameworks may be effective tools for combatting burnout, improving fulfillment, and promoting wellness and wellbeing among women and other groups of faculty.
