Faculty
Dr. Steven Adelman
Director of Physician Health Services, Massachusetts Medical Society
Dr. Adelman has been the Director of Physician Health Services (PHS) in Massachusetts since March 2013. He is a graduate of Harvard College and the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, and he completed his internship, residency, and chief residency at Harvard Medical School's McLean Hospital. Dr. Adelman was a Faculty Fellow in Addiction Medicine at the University of Massachusetts Medical School, where he is a Clinical Associate Professor. He has extensive experience in addiction psychiatry, addiction medicine and multispecialty group medical leadership.
Dr. Adelman has expanded PHS's focus on physician health promotion, self-care, and professional coaching as necessary countermeasures to address what he now refers to as the "mounting occupational health crisis in medicine." Under his leadership, a growing number of physicians now self-refer to PHS, identifying their challenges sooner, rather than later, and gaining access to resources in order to help themselves manage the complex stresses of today's demanding health care environment. These self-referrals are welcome, and they now comprise more than 40% of new PHS clients. Dr. Adelman is available to confer with any physician or medical student with a Massachusetts connection at 781-434-7404.
