Dr. Jody Leng and Dr. Brett Athans, both key faculty in the PRIME (Physician Resiliency in Medicine) program join Derrick Wu in talking about physician wellness and how PRIME plays a significant part in promoting wellness/resiliency within the residency and department. We talk about what PRIME is and how it got started (02:49), how PRIME has lead the way for similar initiatives around the country (08:22), resources and methods that may help improve well-being during a difficult time (12:42), how the "gas lounge" began and how PRIME facilitates new wellness initiatives (20:33), what check-in sessions are and how they help in debriefing tough situations as well as finding common ground in shared experiences (24:22), do a sample check-in (27:42), practicing "resiliency" while knowing there are other systemic issues at hand (37:23), and have some closing thoughts and other resources for physicians seeking help (39:09).
