“ Residency creates family and community, as trainees spend a substantial amount of time in this setting, and as such it needs to be a supportive culture to keep its members well.”

Decades of research studies and scholarly articles have explored physician mental health in four main areas: well-being, burnout, depression, and suicide. Health care organizations continue to make progress toward developing the necessary steps to ensure physician well-being. The ACGME Scholars in Residence have dedicated tremendous time and resources to reviewing and aggregating data about the factors that enhance or diminish physician well-being in the clinical setting.
