Residency Well-being Committee
We are a group of residents, chief residents, and faculty who meet regularly to develop and enhance well-being initiatives at the individual and system level for the Internal Medicine residency program, as well as continue to look for ways to improve our current curriculum.
We view well-being holistically as more than the absence of burnout. We aim to identify and address cultural and organizational contributors to well-being, while supporting individual needs and skill development for self-care, in order to create a thriving residency community.
