In this episode, Dr. Stuart Slavin and Dr. Greg Guldner discuss mental health and well-being in graduate medical education (GME). They highlight the reduced stigma among current residents/fellows but note the persistent underutilization of mental health services. Dr. Guldner explains barriers such as time constraints, prioritization issues, and the impact of depression on seeking help. He emphasizes the importance of addressing these barriers, especially during stressful periods of transition in GME. Despite advancements like teletherapy, many residents and fellows still do not seek the help they need, often due to internal and external stigmas and logistical challenges.
