Getting started: Our signature tools
When support is absent, the emotional weight compounds:
role confusion → identity conflict → isolation → moral distress → exhaustion.
It’s a pattern so predictable that we built HelixMD to interrupt it.
​
Our tools are based on our research findings and include workbooks, assessments, and resources designed for physicians.
