Wellness at Grant

 Grant Family Medicine is committed to producing well-trained, independent, and healthy physicians. In the face of so many competing interests during residency, we have established a Physician Wellness component to our curriculum. Physician wellness, constantly in competition with physician burnout, is something we take seriously here at Grant. We strive to produce a complete physician; one who can balance the joys and stress of patient care along with their own health and family life.

Our interns participate in a two week rotation, emphasizing self-care and stress relief. Residents participate in monthly wellness events, have a wellness committee that focuses on process improvements for resident wellness, and have wellness, flex, and admin days integrated in all three years of residency to attend to personal wellness visits/appointments, allow for completion of longitudinal work, and protect time to complete patient related administrative tasks, respectively.

While the technical/science of medicine during residency is important, it is equally if not more important to build a foundation of wellness and self care as a physician. These components of the curriculum are stepping stones for that journey.
