Wellness

We take wellness seriously at FSU Sarasota. Multiple studies have confirmed if the physician is suffering in any way (emotionally, spiritually, psychological or physically) the patient and the system suffer in tandem. Our goal is to not only create great clinically competent emergency medicine physicians, but to also help foster well adjusted, happy, and resilient human beings.

Our wellness curriculum includes panels devoted to topics such as dealing with difficult cases, how to move on after making a medical error, etc and various lectures, from how to get good sleep to how to plan financially for your future. The most popular part of our wellness program is our scheduled social activities such as an annual boating trip, our post-ITE party, and a kayak outing. We also offer certain scheduling benefits such as not having interns work overnight shifts, and giving them every Wednesday afternoon off after didactics as well as generally keeping ED hours slightly below average. Here at SMH, the resident will feel supported and know that wellness is a priority.
