Wellness can be defined as an active process of making choices in multiple dimensions of body, mind, and spirit that lead toward healthier ways of living. Wellness for physicians has not been consistently defined in the literature but currently, it is thought to encompass dimensions that include low emotional distress, career purpose, health behavior, and cognitive flexibility.
The Graduate Medical Education Committee includes a Wellness Subcommittee consisting of the DIO, GME staff, faculty, and resident and/or fellow representation with the responsibility for encouraging a culture that promotes wellness and eliminates the stigma of mental illness.
Wellness within the Transitional Year Residency Program is designed to ensure our residents are exposed to a wide breadth of topics to ensure their well-being today and for the years to come. From personal finance to personal health and wellness, we encompass a multi-disciplinary approach to wellness within the Program.
