Office of Professional Well-Being

AT THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW MEXICO SCHOOL OF MEDICINE

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

Our Mission

To educate, serve, and advocate for best practices to support resilience and well-being for UNM SOM faculty and HSC learners.

Our Vision

Create an institutional culture in which healthcare professionals and learners do not have to sacrifice their own well-being to serve others.
