We’re excited to invite you to the third module of WellRounds, a new virtual learning series created by Sarah Grimmer, PhD, designed especially for physician families.
Module 6: The Invisible Load
Managing the Mental and Emotional Labor
Virtual Discussion Groups
Tuesday March 10, 2026 12:00pm
Tuesday March 10, 2026 8:00pm
Drawing on her original research and personal experience as a physician spouse, Dr. Grimmer explores how the stress and burnout often seen in medical professionals can impact the entire family system. Through this course, participants will gain a deeper understanding of the signs of burnout—not just in physicians, but in partners and children—and learn practical, evidence-based strategies to foster resilience, protect emotional wellbeing, and reconnect as a family.
The WellRounds series includes:
- Short, self-paced video lessons
- A downloadable discussion guide and reflection worksheet for each module
- Optional virtual discussion groups (daytime and evening sessions available)
- Online forum in the members only website
- Tools to help families navigate the challenges of living in medicine with more connection and clarity
Registration is required to access the course materials and join a discussion group. Participation is open to anyone in a physician family—whether you’re married to a medical student, resident, attending, or retired physician. When you register, you will receive a confirmation email with links to the materials and discussion group registration. You will need to register for a discussion group.
You do not have to be a member of TCMS Alliance to register. If you are not a member, kindly include your state and zip code in your registration form.
We hope you’ll join us in this meaningful and timely conversation about what it means to live well in a physician family.
