Title
Resilience in the New Millennium - Where Are We and How Are We?
Length of Presentation
Background/Purpose
Resilience is regarded as a holistic approach to preventing burnout, and in recent years, medical education has emphasized the importance of developing strategies for resilience early in training. Whether this cultural shift has achieved its intended impact is yet to be elucidated. The purpose of our narrative review is to examine the range and nature of research activity regarding resilience in undergraduate medical education, and to identify areas for improvement in the current literature.
Methods
MEDLINE and PsycINFO were searched for articles published between January 1, 2000 and July 25, 2019 on the themes of resilience, wellness, or burnout interventions in undergraduate medical education in North America. Two authors independently screened each article, with conflicts resolved via consensus discussion. All included articles then underwent data extraction.
Results
3323 unique manuscripts were screened, identifying 421 full-text studies for eligibility assessment and 237 articles for data extraction. The majority of articles were published after 2010, especially in the latter half of the decade. 19% of articles were focused on interventions. Several concepts emerged: definitions of resilience and wellness, predisposing and personal protective factors to burnout, institutional changes, as well as curricular interventions designed to augment student resilience or intervene on burnout.
Conclusion
Over the past two decades, medical faculties have come to recognize the importance of fostering and teaching resilience, with increased research interest and sustained student- and faculty-led interventions in this area. Future research should continue to promote resilience and build wellness through outcome-proven interventions early in medical training.
