Importance of Physician Wellness

Why is a wellness curriculum important for residents? Residency is a critical period for the development of habits and systems for practice that can endure throughout one’s medical career. Residency is a critical period for the development of habits and systems for practice that can endure throughout one’s medical career. A goal of residency education is to produce a strong and productive workforce for the delivery of primary care and its subspecialties A goal of residency education is to produce a strong and productive workforce for the delivery of primary care and its subspecialties –60% of practicing physicians report symptoms of burnout – and nearly 50% of medical students across 7 medical schools reported burnout. It is fertile ground for the cultivation and preservation of qualities and skills that make us more effective and happier practitioners.

Comments about the Curriculum Burnout Burnout “I thought burnout was a great topic to help reflect on my quality of life as a resident.” “Normalize the topic of burnout but awareness that each physician is vastly different with how to reach burnout, what to look for, avoid, prioritize.”

Comments about the Curriculum Intrinsic Value for your Medical Practice Intrinsic Value for your Medical Practice “Yes, this is a great exercise. I think the meditation before was key. Good to have time to sit and reflect. I also liked how they were shared and we could only listen. It was refreshing not to have physicians who are naturally problem solvers comment or try to solve my reflections and for me to do the same in return.”

Comments about the Curriculum Mindfulness Exercises and Caring for Your Patients Mindfulness Exercises and Caring for Your Patients “Refreshing and important teaching exercise about listening. Reminded me about “being present” with patients and that sometimes I need to stop my brain and just listen.”

Comments about the Curriculum Reflective Writing Exercises Reflective Writing Exercises “I liked the reflective writing exercise on “rebalance, renew, refresh.” Made me remember what I can do for myself to recapture my soul.” “I felt it really helped me to think about where I am now and how I’m feeling, as well as starting to think about what I needed to do to progress forward.” “I felt it was helpful to help regain my passion for medicine.”

Comments about the Curriculum Mask Exercise Mask Exercise “Awesome. Brought lots of emotions and spurred more reflection the days following this exercise. Helped me connect certain emotions with previous patient interactions which if I stop to be mindful about these will help me in care of future patients.”

Comments about the Curriculum Chatauqua 1: Self-awareness Chatauqua 1: Self-awareness “I try to hide the fact that I worry about being an adequate doctor and that I am fearful about providing excellent care... I feel uncomfortable sharing it because I don’t want others to think that I don’t deserve to be here” “I try to hide the fact that I worry about being an adequate doctor and that I am fearful about providing excellent care... I feel uncomfortable sharing it because I don’t want others to think that I don’t deserve to be here” “My classmates are kind and compassionate, and I should not be afraid of judgement when sharing with them’ “My classmates are kind and compassionate, and I should not be afraid of judgement when sharing with them’

Next steps… Plans for a study of gratitude practices among residents and clinic staff and the effect this has on personal wellbeing and job satisfaction Plans for a study of gratitude practices among residents and clinic staff and the effect this has on personal wellbeing and job satisfaction Develop/refine curriculum for use with faculty Develop/refine curriculum for use with faculty Continue to refine curriculum and use feedback to improve relevancy and satisfaction Continue to refine curriculum and use feedback to improve relevancy and satisfaction
