Physician Wellness Curriculum Development: The Residency Handbook and the "Wellness Resident"

04-28-2016 13:44

The Wellness Handbook is a manual for distribution to incoming Interns which provides evidence-based discussion of the potential for stress, fatigue and burn-out during the Residency; describes the Wellness Curriculum during Residency training; and provides resources available to the Resident to measure and address stress. The manual also describes stress reducing techniques which the Resident may practice, lists duty hour limitations and includes hospital policies regarding physician fatigue and physician impairment. Within the Wellness Curriculum is the appointment of a 'Wellness Resident', a second or third year Resident who is responsible for assessing stress levels across the Department and conducts regular Wellness Moments in didactics which include mediation or yoga exercises, education about stress, physical activity or humorous moments which add to the Residents' arsenal of stress reducers.
