Title
Supporting Wellness through Reflection and Dialogue
Length of Presentation
Rationale/Background
The Royal College challenges educators to prepare physicians who are able to balance personal and professional priorities, incorporate self care, and develop personal and professional awareness and insight. Never has this concept been more critical than during the current pandemic. This workshop will present our approach to supporting learner wellness through reflection and dialogue within a longitudinal curriculum. Students engage with residents and faculty and the formal curriculum during scheduled group meetings over 4 years. Participants are provided with a description of the thematic session and companion pieces, and come prepared to describe an experience and their reflection on it. Students are also required to meet with faculty twice yearly for progress review meetings, and wellness is discussed as an important element of their personal learning plan. The informal curriculum, of relationship building, is perhaps the most effective component of the curriculum.
Instructional Methods
Our approach to supporting wellness through a Portfolio curriculum will be described through a didactic presentation. Participants will then have the opportunity to simulate a small reflective practice group. Following a demonstration, they will also engage in a coaching conversation around wellness. Participants will discuss how this approach might be adapted to their own education context.
Target audience
Medical educators and trainees at all levels
