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 Stanford University Medical School’s wellness model to help stem physician burnout—a growing issue nationally.
Our staff focuses on improving professional well-being for medical students, residents and SOM faculty. To that end, we:
- Promote physician wellbeing while understanding high-quality, patient care provisions.
- Provide curriculum/resources so physicians/trainees can foster well-being.
- Support an inclusive learning environment that recognizes and responds to peers/colleagues in need.
- Identify, champion and evaluate novel strategies for improved student/resident/faculty efficiency of practice.
- Collaborate with colleagues to develop/assess individual and institutional wellness intervention impacts.
- Offer Special Resources for All Front Line Providers During COVID-19 [PDF].
