We're Serious About Wellness 〰️

Department Wellness Initiative.

In 2022, the Emergency Department leadership launched a wellness campaign for both faculty and residents.

We participate quarterly in the Maslach Burnout Assessment as well as the PERMA Wellness assessment to assess wellness and burnout amongst residents and physicians. Each shift, we are asked to complete 4 tasks that fall into each of the following categories: Physical, Emotional, Social, and Intellectual. These areas have been validated for improving overall wellness. We are continually measuring responses in an effort to increase overall physical and mental health and wellness amongst our entire department.

  • Complete 5 minutes of exercise AND spend 2 minutes outside (no PPE).

  • Check in with yourself AND check in with someone else.

  • Express gratitude or thanks to someone.

  • Learn something new AND share it with someone.

We give each class their own wellness day to spend time together outside of work.

Resident
Retreats

Each year residents have 2 retreats where they can openly voice concerns and engage in active program building; as well as team activities and bonding activities (and a lot of fun).

These retreats are free from all clinical duties to ensure everyone can join.
