Obstetrics and Gynecology Residents Wellness Initiative

Master
Content

During September 2020, the Resident Wellness Initiative was started to directly address the components of burnout in our residents. This initiative includes both faculty and resident-driven components.

The faculty-driven portion of the Resident Wellness Initiative includes:

  • Two faculty wellness champions

The resident-driven portion of the Resident Wellness Initiative includes:

  • Resident Wellness Committee consisting of one resident from each class and subcommittees to plan activities utilizing resident wellness fund
  • Senior resident/junior resident mentor pairs
  • Wellness Wednesdays: time off during regularly scheduled didactics for residents to complete necessary activities such as doctor's appointments, grocery shopping, or group activities
  • Quarterly Book Club

Baylor’s Obstetrics and Gynecology Program educates all residents to recognize fatigue, alertness management, and overall well-being to provide the best care to our patients. Wellness is a core institutional priority at Baylor College by providing the resident’s resources for self-screening of burnout, mental health, and substance abuse. For more information, visit:
