AI Article Synopsis
- There’s a growing issue of burnout among health professionals, prompting academic medical centers to prioritize well-being initiatives.
- The Wellness Initiative Supporting Health (WISH) program was launched to fund wellness projects, with 52% of proposals receiving grants between 2018 and 2022.
- Participating in these projects led to improved wellness among participants and strong support for continuing the program, demonstrating the viability of local wellness initiatives in academic settings.
Article Abstract
Background: With rising burnout among health professionals, academic medical centers are faced with the challenge of sustaining well-being.
Activity: An academic medical department established the Wellness Initiative Supporting Health (WISH) small grant program to support locally developed wellness-related activities. This assessment describes the feasibility and early outcomes of implementing the WISH projects.
Results: Between 2018 and 2022, 36 of 69 (52%) proposals received funding. Projects focused on individual wellness strategies, team-building activities, and networking events. Grant recipients reported enhanced wellness for activity participants and strong agreement that the program should continue.
Discussion: Implementing low-cost, sustainable wellness initiatives at a "local" level of academic medical centers are feasible.

Department of Biomedical Informatics, University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, Little Rock, AR.
Background: Studies examining racial and ethnic disparities in-hospital mortality for patients hospitalized with COVID-19 had mixed results. Findings from patients within academic medical centers (AMCs) are lacking, but important given the role of AMCs in improving health equity.
Objective: The purpose of this study is to assess whether minority patients hospitalized with COVID-19 in National COVID Cohort Collaborative (N3C) institutions, which consist predominantly of AMCs, have higher mortality rates relative to White patients.

Burnout among medical residents and fellows (postgraduate trainees) has been receiving significant attention in the scientific literature with far less focus on the factors that correlate with job satisfaction and well-being. A better understanding of the characteristics that increase job satisfaction (rather than just those that lead to burnout) may allow programs to develop and enhance those positive features, conceivably leading to improved mental health, retention, and recruitment. We hypothesize that job satisfaction among postgraduate trainees is positively impacted by feeling that their work is meaningful, that their work schedules are equitable, and that they are appreciated by their faculty.
