Abstract
Physicians, including psychiatrists and psychiatry trainees, are at higher risk of burnout compared to the average working population. The COVID-19 pandemic heightens this risk. This pilot aims to enhance professional fulfillment and support while decreasing the risk and prevalence of burnout in child and adolescent psychiatry trainees through virtual delivery of a Balint-like group incorporating a brief emotional awareness curriculum.

The findings of the present study suggest that there is a demonstrable interest among medical school students and residents to learn more about child and adolescent psychiatry, but that opportunities to do so are limited and that stigma does exist in the medical community
A novel well-being curriculum focused on combining brief emotional awareness–enhancing modules with a Balint-like approach enhances professional fulfillment and a sense of professional support and decreases the risk and prevalence of burnout, even when delivered virtually to a group of child and adolescent psychiatry fellows
Summary
48.3—48.5 students report hearing these comments occasionally, while 75% report this occurrence by their first year of residency). Conclusions: The findings of the present study suggest that there is a demonstrable interest among medical school students and residents to learn more about child and adolescent psychiatry, but that opportunities to do so are limited and that stigma does exist in the medical community. Community building, and programming may help to decrease stigma associated with child and adolescent psychiatry and increase exposure to build a more inclusive workforce.
