Research suggests that student burnout and mental illness are increasing in U.S. medical schools. In response, students and administrators developed the Vanderbilt Medical Student (VMS) Wellness Program to promote student health and well-being through coordination of many new and existing resources. This program consists of three core components: The Advisory College Program, The Student Wellness Committee, and VMS LIVE. Each of the core components includes separate and unique individual programs, but each of these three components collaborates with the other two to accomplish the broad wellness goal of maximizing student health, happiness, and potential. The VMS Wellness Program has had early success with substantial growth and outstanding student buy-in since its inception in 2005. Preliminary data indicate that nearly every student has participated in at least two components of the VMS Wellness Program. In addition to participation, student response has been highly satisfactory, as evidenced by their positive feedback. The VMS Wellness Program is the first published model of a comprehensive medical student wellness initiative. The development and design of the program described in this article may serve as a framework for other institutions.
研究表明，美国医学院学生的倦怠和精神疾病正在增加。为了应对这一问题，学生和管理人员制定了范德比尔特医学生（VMS）健康计划，通过协调许多新的和现有的资源来促进学生的健康和福祉。该计划由三个核心组成部分组成：咨询学院计划、学生健康委员会和 VMS LIVE。每个核心组成部分都包括单独的、独特的个人项目，但这三个组成部分中的每一个都与另外两个合作，以实现最大限度地提高学生健康、幸福和潜力的广泛健康目标。自 2005 年成立以来，VMS 健康计划取得了早期成功，取得了显著的增长和学生的高度认可。初步数据表明，几乎每个学生都至少参加了 VMS 健康计划的两个组成部分。除了参与，学生的反应也非常满意，他们的积极反馈就是证明。VMS 健康计划是第一个全面医学生健康倡议的发布模型。本文所述计划的开发和设计可以为其他机构提供框架。
