Wellness

Wellness can be defined as an active process of making choices across multiple dimensions of the body, mind, and spirit that lead toward healthier ways of living. Wellness for physicians has not been consistently defined in the literature. Still, it is currently thought to encompass dimensions such as low emotional distress, career purpose, health behavior, and cognitive flexibility.

The Graduate Medical Education Committee includes a Wellness Subcommittee consisting of the DIO, GME staff, faculty, and resident and/or fellow representation with the responsibility for encouraging a culture that promotes wellness and eliminates the stigma of mental illness.
