A Q and A with 2024 ACGME Debra L. Dooley Program Coordinator Excellence Awardee Vicky Lee Norton, C-TAGME.

Christina Baxter Vernace, DO, Angelina Bernier, MD, Mary Catherine Hart, Lindsay Thompson, MD, and Keiaria Williams of University of Florida Health Shands Children’s Hospital are recognized with the 2023 David C. Leach Award.

This is one in a series of project profiles of the ACGME’s Back to Bedside initiative, which empowers residents and fellows to develop innovations that foster meaning and joy in work and engage their patients on a deeper level.

A collection of resources to promote well-being, foster professional growth, and ensure a smooth start at the transition into a new academic year.

Jessica Hans, MEd answered the ACGME’s questions on behalf of the team behind the poster, “Balance, Resident Wellness,” presented at the 2023 ACGME Annual Educational Conference.

2021 John C. Gienapp Awardee Henry J. Schultz, MD, MACP works as a professor of medicine in primary care internal medicine at the Mayo Clinic School of Graduate Medical Education.

Jamie Dow, EdM, is assistant director for resident education and training at the University of Florida. Her poster, Mindfulness in Neurosurgery: Improving Neurosurgeon Wellness in Training and Beyond (with co-authors W. Christopher Fox, MD, Associate Program Director, University of Florida, and Gregory Murad, MD, Program Director, University of Florida), looked at wellness in neurosurgery, which Dow says “has traditionally been considered an oxymoron.” However, as priorities among neurological surgery residents evolve and the effects of physician burnout are increasingly recognized across specialties, life balance and overall well-being have become areas of emphasis and an opportunity for program improvement.

The ACGME has selected 30 resident/fellow teams to receive the fourth cycle of funding for Back to Bedside, a resident-led initiative to develop innovative strategies for finding deeper connections with patients, improving physician and patient well-being.
