"Flourish in the Clerkship Year": a Curriculum to Promote Wellbeing in Medical Students.

Unlabelled: The stresses of medical training can lead to burnout and other adverse outcomes. The Flourish curriculum was designed to mitigate negative effects of stress among clerkship students through debriefing and skills-building activities that foster practical wisdom: mindfulness, appreciative practice, story-telling/listening, and reflection. Students rated the curriculum highly, felt it addressed common concerns about clerkships, and were able to apply techniques from the curriculum to their clinical work.

Mindfulness for healthcare providers fosters professional quality of life and mindful attention among emergency medical technicians.

Objective: Emergency medical service (EMS) providers are systematically subjected to intense stimuli in their work that may result in distress and emotional suffering. While it is known that mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) helps to foster well-being in healthcare workers, the effectiveness of MBSR among EMS providers is less understood. We explored the impact of a modified version of MBSR for healthcare workers called Mindfulness for Healthcare Providers (MHP) on reducing distress and promoting wellbeing in EMS providers.
