## Abstract

PROJECT SUMMARY
This application is for an Administrative Supplement for Curriculum or Training Activities to Enhance Wellness
and Resiliency in the Training Environment. The goal of our T32 training grant program, Comprehensive
Anesthesia Research Training, is to provide in-depth research training to anesthesiologists and allied scientists
who are committed to pursuing basic, translational and/or clinical research on topics in anesthesiology, critical
care medicine, pain medicine and the perioperative sciences. There is a need to develop a wellness curriculum
for trainees in our program, as physician-scientists face unique challenges navigating the research training
pathway, including balancing large research commitments with high intensity clinical work and expectations to
participate in mentoring, education, and service. This Administrative Supplement will be used to develop a
wellness curriculum that will provide formalized mechanisms for trainee peer support and community building,
expanded trainee career mentorship, and opportunities for trainees and faculty mentors to learn about well-
being concepts, research, and resources. The specific training activities include: (1) a Wellness and Resilience
Support Group of current and past trainees and junior research faculty who will participate in wellness
workshops and community building activities, (2) expanded career development mentorship and planning to
address unique issues encountered by physician-scientists in training (e.g., effectively balancing clinical work
and research), (3) an Annual Wellness Research seminar and opportunities for trainees to interact with the
Visiting Professor, and (4) the development of a map of well-being resources within the department, at UCSF,
and externally (e.g., through OITE) that are available to research trainees and faculty mentors. We anticipate
that the activities and resources will be initiated and implemented using this Administrative Supplement, and
then will be sustained in the T32 program and the larger departmental Pathway to Scientific Independence
research training program. The effectiveness of the wellness program will be assessed using (1) surveys of
trainees at the beginning and end of the year of supplemental support, and over the following 3 years, focused
on parameters of wellness and research success (publication rates and extramural funding), (2) trainee
attendance at wellness-oriented workshops and community building activities, (3) trainee and faculty
attendance at wellness seminars, and (4) trainee evaluations of the program activities. The outcomes will be
disseminated to the Department of Anesthesia through the Anesthesia Research Newsletter and externally
through publications on the effectiveness of the program in peer-reviewed journals. The T32 Executive
Committee and Department Chair will also participate in the dissemination of outcomes through institutional,
local, and national presentations. This new wellness curriculum progr...
