Wellness

Wellness is an important component of physical and mental well-being, as well as professional satisfaction and humanism in medicine. The OBGYN Resident Wellness Program at MUSC was developed to address multiple areas of resident wellness through a formal curriculum, mentoring, community service efforts, and participation in ACOG/CREOG wellness week. The curriculum was created by the wellness committee, which consists of residents and faculty members, and includes quarterly wellness workshops surrounding mindfulness, gratitude, and self-compassion, burnout, difficult events, among other topics. Residents participate in community outreach and personal half days for preventative health visits.

Mentoring

The resident mentoring program was designed to support residents in the transition to residency, assist with personal and professional development, and model professionalism, stewardship, and wellness. Each intern is assigned a mentor prior to the start of residency, with the hope that the mentor-mentee relationships will continue throughout the four years of residency. In order to meet the goals, each mentor serves in an advisory capacity regarding self-assessment, goal development, and career planning. In addition, mentors will discuss residents' personal and professional development, monitor and build educational goals and objectives based upon in-service examination results, with the goal of achieving improvement annually and adequate board preparation.
