Frequently Asked Questions

Who is this survey addressing, and who should complete it? 

Clinically-active, non-GME physicians who practice at UCSD. 

Please do not take this survey if you are a:

  • GME physician (Resident or Fellow) 
  • Non-Clinical Research Faculty
  • Physician who practices only at Rady Children's

This survey will not be relevant to you. 

Is this survey different from the Faculty Climate Survey?

Yes. This is not the Faculty Climate Survey; that survey is administered triannually by the Office of Faculty Affairs and is not connected with the Physician Wellness Office. The Physician Wellness survey (featured on this page) is administered annually. The next OFA Climate Survey is anticipated for 2026 - please connect with the OFA to confirm those details if you're interested to learn more. 

I practice at both Rady Children's and UCSD. Should I take this survey?

Yes, noting: There are 71 UCSD physicians who practice both at UCSD and Rady Children's. This UCSD Physician Wellness survey will address your experience practicing at UCSD; Rady will be issuing an equivalent survey in Summer 2025 assessing your experience there. Each survey will inform improvement efforts at each issuing institution. Our planning teams are sensitive to survey burden, so we invite you to consider where you'd like to direct your contributions for the wellness strategies at each institution. 

Why should I take this survey?

This survey - and the accompanying PW Town Hall and results discussion with your department - directly inform the actions taken by your department and UCSD to improve your experience as a physician here. Check out the progress & accomplishments featured above for evidence of real changes from the past two phases of UCSD's Physician Wellness program. Don't miss your chance to have your voice heard!

The survey is longer than last year. Why? 

Several items were added to improve the interpretability and utility of the data: turnover intent reason, for instance ("I'm retiring", etc.). We also removed several items that we observed were not useful in creating meaningful changes from last year's strategy and implementation. 

The Physician Wellness Office codeveloped the survey with Chartis and multiple internal stakeholders. We adjusted items based on utility, emerging needs, and the timeliness of changes related to certain questions (some things don't need to be asked every year).
