Episode notes
Educators Care But Expect Toughness
- Medical educators deeply care about their trainees' well-being and success.
- Educators see their role as preparing trainees through necessary discomfort, not simply making them happy.
Wellness Days May Undermine Training
- Wellness days and similar accommodations have steadily increased but haven't improved student well-being or exam performance.
- Reduced hands-on experience threatens the readiness of medical trainees for residency demands.
No Proof Wellness Programs Help
- There is no evidence that wellness interventions have improved student wellness or academic success.
- Since COVID, failure rates on board exams have increased despite new wellness initiatives.
