  • Anesthesiology residents face unique stressors during training.
  • Evaluating interventions to support resident well-being is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the impact of a wellness program on anesthesiology residents' well-being.
  • To compare the effects of a wellness intervention against control groups.

Main Methods:
