We understand the need for professional well-being.
We are here to help you.
Office of Professional Well-Being
Our office is dedicated to providing initiatives for faculty and learners that improve practice efficiency, enhance a culture of compassion, and promote personal resiliency. We follow this national wellness model to promote joy in practice and to reduce moral distress.
We focus on improving professional well-being for medical students, residents and SOM faculty by:
- Offering curriculum, didactics, resources, and workshops to help you build skills in time management, communication, quality improvement, sleep hygiene, financial wellness and personal resilience
- Providing confidential and accessible mental health resources, including peer-to-peer support for faculty and information on off-campus resources
- Partnering with colleagues across the institution to identify, develop, and evaluate novel strategies for improving efficiency of practice
- Building a culture of wellness through system changes that enable each of us to grow personally and professionally and to support each other
