The Designated Wellness Resident

05-11-2018 10:51

This presentation discussed the use of a Resident, designated to be the 'Wellness Resident', as part of our program's longitudinal Behavioral Health curriculum.  The Wellness Resident participates in a variety of ways in support of wellness.  They participate in Intern Orientation to underscore the importance of life-balance and self-care.  They conduct 'wellness moments' during didactics and plan for social events during the academic year.  The presentation also includes a copy of the Wellness Handbook which the Wellness Resident and Director of Behavioral Health review with Interns at Orientation.  This handbook highlights the need for and challenges to sustained wellness.  It includes references to wellness material, self-help options and professional support available to our Residents.
