Summary
Family medicine residents report lower satisfaction with wellness programs than program directors, highlighting a need to improve well-being resources and emphasis in graduate medical education. This impacts resident satisfaction and overall program effectiveness.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education Research
- Graduate Medical Education
- Physician Well-being
Background:
- Mitigating stress in graduate medical education is a key focus for residency leadership in the U.S.
- This study investigates resident and program director satisfaction with existing wellness curricula.
Purpose of the Study:
- To examine family medicine (FM) resident and program director (PD) satisfaction with current wellness curricula.
- To assess perceptions of resource availability and emphasis on well-being within FM residency programs.
Main Methods:
- Online surveys were administered to U.S. FM residents and PDs from April to May 2021.
- The Wellness Element Count (WEC) assessed curriculum implementation, alongside satisfaction ratings and perceived changes in wellness emphasis during COVID-19.
Main Results:
- Residents reported lower WEC indicators (P<.001) and satisfaction (67.8%) compared to PDs (89.3%) (P<.001).
- Greater perceived emphasis on wellness curricula correlated with higher resident satisfaction (OR=2.75, P<.05).
Conclusions:
- A disparity exists between resident and PD perceptions regarding wellness resource availability and satisfaction.
- Enhancing the use of available wellness resources and fostering a supportive culture of well-being are crucial for improving resident experiences.

The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.
