Rates of burnout, mental illness, and suicide are disproportionately elevated among physicians, and surgical specialists, including otolaryngologists, are at even higher risk for professional burnout. These trends have been identified at both the trainee and attending level. To combat resident burnout, the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) Council of Review Committee Residents (CRCR) designed the Back to Bedside Initiative, the goals of which are to foster meaning in the learning environment and to help trainees to engage more deeply with patients. Two funded Back to Bedside proposals involve otolaryngology training programs. Herein, we discuss these 2 approaches in an effort to foster additional novel resident wellness initiatives and awareness thereof across our subspecialty.
医生的倦怠、精神疾病和自杀率不成比例地升高，耳鼻喉科等外科专家的职业倦怠风险更高。这些趋势在住院医师和主治医生层面都已被确定。为了应对住院医师的倦怠，研究生医学教育认证委员会（ACGME）审查委员会住院医师（CRCR）设计了回到床边倡议，其目标是在学习环境中培养意义，并帮助住院医师更深入地与患者接触。有两个资助的回到床边的提案涉及耳鼻喉科培训项目。在这里，我们讨论这两种方法，以努力在我们的亚专业中培养更多新的住院医师健康倡议和意识。
