Summary
Resident physician wellness is a topic of increasing interest in the medical community. The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) recently outlined the expectation that residency programs incorporate education on burnout prevention, further substantiating the importance of making this an established part of physician education [12]. A recent multi-center survey determined that emergency medicine residents considered wellness to be valuable to their learning and believed it to be an important topic to include in training, but they did not feel well 1 ©JWellness 2019 Vol 1, (1). The wellness of resident physicians, in emergency medicine (EM) with its high rate of burnout, has become of paramount importance to residency programs. This pilot study aims to evaluate the effects of the implementation of an evidence-based wellness curriculum on self-reported resident wellness across three Detroit EM residency programs. It is the first objective study of a wellness program for EM residents to date
