Inclusive Excellence
Wellness in the Osler Program
We are excited to have multiple wellness initiatives ongoing in the Osler Medical Residency, ranging from a resident Wellness Committee, scheduled Wellness Office Hours, a narrative medicine writing program, and more. Dr. Corey Tapper, associate program director for wellness, discusses the residency's efforts.
- With the guidance of program leadership, we have formed a resident-led Wellness Committee which focuses on brainstorming and implementing initiatives to bolster wellbeing and resilience. Recently, the committee has created self-care kits for resident use while on call.
- All residents are encouraged to attend Office Hours focused on wellness. These are opportunities to speak directly with the APD for wellness about the transition to residency and debriefing complex clinical encounters.
- Each firm hosts periodic small group sessions on building resilience. These sessions are led by experts in skills-building.
- Our residents are actively engaged with the GME office on institutional wellbeing initiatives.
