Abstract
Article: Identifying the Optimal Implementation Strategy of a Wellness Curriculum to Enhance Attendance while Transitioning the Format Due to COVID-19 Pandemic in a Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine Fellowship
Highlights
As a result of COVID-19 pandemic, the wellness curriculum (WC) was transitioned by switching the physical setting from indoors in-person (IIP) gatherings to either outdoor in person socially distant (OIP) gatherings or virtual meetings online
Over a 4 year period, pre-pandemic IIP attendance noticeably increased with modifications to time slots, day of the week, and frequency of wellness sessions
We found that: A) Wellness sessions held during lunch hour resulted in the higher attendance and engagement
Summary
Methods: Pre-pandemic, a clinical social worker developed a wellness curriculum (WC) consisting of a variety of topics to address the components of burnout: emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced sense of personal achievement. Over a 4 year period, a WC of 1 hour facilitated discussions was established and trialed at different times, different days of the week, and frequencies (weekly vs biweekly vs monthly) within the PCCM fellowship program at a single institution. As a result of COVID-19 pandemic, the WC was transitioned by switching the physical setting from IIP gatherings to either outdoor in person socially distant (OIP) gatherings (weather permitting) or virtual meetings online.
