Wellness

Fellowship Wellness Event

We strive to provide an educational experience that also fosters fellow wellness.  Our wellness events seek to improve emotional health and well-being as well as promote social support and engagement.  While our clinical work is demanding, we have taken feedback from current and former fellows to improve rotations in order to minimize burnout. 

Personal wellness is vital to the success and professional satisfaction of every individual.

Nationally, rates of burnout are high among busy healthcare professionals. Wellness is a high priority in our department and in the School of Medicine and we strive to maximize wellness for all members of our community. 

ACGME Wellness Initiatives and Partnerships

 The ACGME has created this page to share with programs, institutions, residents, and fellows resources that promote a culture of well-being and provide support for burnout, depression, or suicide.

The ACGME has partnered with the National Academy of Medicine (NAM) to launch a new Action Collaborative on Clinician Well-Being and Resilience.

The ACGME has also partnered with Mayo Clinic and the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) in the initiative, “Physician and Medical Student Depression and Suicide Prevention” and have developed a toolkit, fact page, a compilation of resources for physicians, and a Prevention Programs source list.

Back to Bedside is an ACGME initiative designed to empower residents and fellows to develop transformative projects that combat burnout by fostering meaning in their learning environments; engaging on a deeper level with what is at the heart of medicine: their patients.
