Description

Gastroenterology (GI) fellowship is an arduous process which predisposes fellows to fatigue and burnout.

Our baseline survey showed a large number of our fellows to be in danger of burnout.

Aims for Improvement

• To improve the overall wellness of GI fellows, identify stressors and reduce incidence of burnout.
• The goal for the first 6 months of operation is to demonstrate improvement in Mini ReZ survey scores by 25% at starting from Sept 1st, 2020.
