APDIM Well-Being and Meaning in Your Program: Creating a Climate of Well-Being for PDs, Program Leadership, and Your Residency

8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.

This highly interactive precourse is for any member of the GME program leadership team (core faculty, APDs, and PDs) who are looking for ideas and inspiration to enhance resident and/or fellow and faculty well-being.  Our goal is to help you take the energy and idea from multiple recent AAIM/APDIM plenaries and workshops and translate them into action items to transform your program. Throughout the precourse, participants will think about their various levels of influence (themselves, program leadership team, the training program, and intra-institutional factors) and the external environment to focus on creating a culture of well-being.  In the morning, participants will have the opportunity to focus on their own personal well-being, reflect on their leadership style, and take an inventory of current well-being activities.  In the afternoon, participants will review data-driven strategies to enhance trainee and faculty well-being, participate in well-being-related experiential activities, and discuss implementation strategies.

Target Audience

All program leaders across the spectrum of UME to GME including, but not limited to APDIM (including core faculty, APD, or PD), MPPDA, or ASP member who wants to join the discussion about opportunities to enhance faculty and trainee well-being.
