3.65 WOUNDED HEALERS: DISTRESS AMONG UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA AT BIRMINGHAM RESIDENTS AND FACULTY AS ASSESSED BY THE WELL-BEING INDEX

Abstract

Burnout is a well-established problem among physicians, which can negatively affect doctors themselves, as well as patients, through medical errors and compromised care. The Mayo Clinic Physician Well-Being Index is a measure shown to be useful in evaluating distress among physicians. This study aimed to use the established Well-Being Index to measure distress among The University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) residents, fellows, and faculty.
