Thinking of Dr Lorna Breen today and the ongoing advocacy work of the Foundation, which has fueled our efforts at #CSRPG @IcahnMountSinai @MountSinaiPsych
Today we pause as we continue to grieve the loss of our dear Lorna. 🧡
Last week, #Working4Health successfully convened a technical consultation to discuss evidence-based interventions, explore tools for assessing #mentalhealth and ensure the #wellbeing of #HealthandCareWorkers. #DutyofCare #GlobalHealthCareWorkersCompact
#HealthandCareWorkers face ongoing #mentalhealth challenges. There is a need for targeted evidence-based interventions and policy measures to safeguard and support their #welbeing. #ProtectInvestTogether #DecentWork. #DutyofCare #GlobalHealthandCareWorkerCompact
I couldn’t start the week without these lyrics… If you know you know. @taylorswift13 @taylornation13 #TTPD #TaylorSwift
I'd also highly encourage you to learn more about this topic and consider becoming involved in health worker burnout and suicide prevention efforts through @drbreenheroes (drlornabreen.org).
If you’d like to learn more about the data I highlighted, I encourage to read the full PF 2023 Survey of America's Current and Future Physicians: physiciansfoundation.org/research/ampli…
Recently, some have asked "How much wellness is too much wellness?" - I'd argue this is a premature and difficult question to answer without having centralized and school-based mechanisms to both track rates of suicide and regularly assess trainee wellbeing with validated tools.
Here is a full list of workplace actions that residents and medical students rated on degree of helpfulness: (Source: PF 2023 Survey of America's Current and Future Physicians)
It is unclear how many medical schools use standardized tools/metrics to regularly assess student wellbeing. 72% of medical students from the PF Survey felt "using validated tools to regularly assess and respond to occupational burnout" could be helpful.
Despite calls to action in medical journals and by advocacy groups (@AmerMedicalAssn), there is no central, unidentified database managed by accrediting orgs for tracking and studying medical student suicides - thus, it is hard to adequately quantify and characterize the issue.
There are also various barriers to seeking mental health treatment, including cultural stigma, fear of ramifications for future medical licensing/credentialing, limited access to cheap mental health care, and lack of time to attend appointments (especially during clerkships).
Medical students have limited curricular flexibility, but balance rigorous academic workloads, financial stressors, personal/familial responsibilities, and "extracurriculars" such as research and volunteering (which have become increasingly emphasized in the Step 1 P/F era).
Through my work with @drbreenheroes, I spoke with medical students across the country about barriers to both maintaining personal wellness and seeking mental health care during their training.
Medical students’ overall wellbeing is worse than both residents and physicians. Medical students report higher rates of burnout (71%), hopelessness (55%), and debilitating levels of perceived stress (64%) than their resident and attending physician counterparts.
According to the 2023 Physicians Foundation (PF) Survey of America's Current and Future Physicians, 25% of medical students report knowing a physician/colleague/peer who has died by suicide. This number increases to 37% among physicians.
I'm grateful for this opportunity to discuss the tough yet important topic of medical trainee mental health with @LisaRosenbaum17 @NEJM. I encourage you all to listen, especially for Dr. Chris Veal's courageous story. I'll share main points from the discussion and survey I cited:
The latest episode of Not Otherwise Specified takes a sobering look at the mental health of U.S. medical students and trainees, in an era when the pressures can be intolerable but the culture still treats depression as weakness.
Thank you @Shreya_Mandava for posting the powerful @NEJM recording - a must-listen - and your informative thread with @PhysiciansFound survey results. Both provide important insights. Greatly appreciate your engagement to advance medical trainee #mentalhealth. @drbreenheroes
