DESCRIPTION:

National Physicians Week is an annual event dedicated to honoring and recognizing the contributions of physicians in the United States.

National Physicians Week began with Dr. Michael Hanak, an internal medicine physician who observed that while other healthcare professionals had dedicated celebrations, physicians did not. His advocacy led to the first official observance of National Physicians Week in 2014, following a proclamation from Congress. This acknowledgment was a response to the increasing recognition of the challenges and sacrifices made by physicians, including long hours and high-stress levels.

The medical profession has a long and storied history, dating back to ancient times. Notable milestones include the establishment of the first public health system in Egypt around 3000 BC, the creation of the Hippocratic Oath by Hippocrates around 500 BC, and the founding of some of the earliest medical schools in Europe during the 1100s. The word 'physician' was first recorded in the dictionary in 1400. Over the centuries, physicians have significantly contributed to healthcare, including establishing the first blood bank in 1937, the first human-to-human heart transplant in 1967, and the first artificial heart implantation in 1982.

This week highlights the hard work and dedication of around 700,000 physicians in the U.S., acknowledging their vital role in our lives and the healthcare system. It's a reminder of the importance of showing gratitude to these healthcare professionals who tirelessly work to improve our health and well-being​​​​​​.
