Article Synopsis
  • There are significant barriers for resident physicians to access mental health care, such as time constraints, financial issues, and confidentiality concerns, leading to the creation of a confidential opt-out mental health pilot program for interns.
  • The program provided interns at the University of Colorado with an additional half-day off to attend mental health screenings at the health center, with all costs covered by the residency.
  • Results showed that participation was mixed (29% attendance), but most interns felt the program helped their wellness, and 85% wanted it to continue, highlighting the need for more studies on reducing barriers to mental health care access for residents.
