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:
