Well-Being CARE Service

The demands of medicine can take a toll, and physicians need confidential support before stress, burnout, or emotional strain become overwhelming. The OSMA Foundation’s Well-Being CARE Service offers a free, confidential emotional health assessment and personalized support resources for physicians and other healthcare professionals across Ohio.

Our recent, 5-year impact report's data opens the door for broader conversations about physician well-being in Ohio. We’re interested in learning what individuals, health systems, universities, and community partners are doing in the mental health space, and where there may be opportunities to work together to keep these resources available and expand support for physicians across Ohio.

Summer Scholars

This summer, seven medical students from across Ohio are pursuing research and service experiences thanks to their stipends from our Summer Scholars Program.

These experiences allow students to explore their interests, contribute to meaningful projects, and gain hands-on experience that helps shape their future careers in medicine. By investing in medical students today, we're helping develop the physician leaders of tomorrow.

Kumar Emerging Physician Leaders Fund

This initiative supports residents, fellows, and early-career physicians as they pursue leadership, advocacy, and professional development opportunities that strengthen their careers and empower them to shape the future of medicine in Ohio.

This year, the Fund is supporting Jonathan Markle, MD, as he pursues participation in the American Society of Hematology’s Advocacy Leadership Institute, a program focused on health policy, the legislative process, and effective physician advocacy.

By investing in emerging physician leaders like Dr. Markle, the Kumar Fund helps ensure physicians are prepared to lead, advocate, and shape the future of medicine for years to come.
