文摘

Resident and physician health are increasingly recognized by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada and its CanMEDS framework as integral to residency training in Canada. Resident stress, burnout, and depression also have implications for patient care. Although curricula have been advocated to promote resident wellness and resilience, no such published curricula exist to guide programs in addressing these needs. The purpose of this article is to describe the curriculum content and delivery of the Anesthesiology Residency Wellness Program (ARWP) at the University of Saskatchewan. The ARWP curriculum is comprised of four components: modular curriculum, peer support curriculum, self-directed learning activities, department wellness program. The program matrix illustrates the mission, target population, inputs, outputs, and outcomes of the ARWP. Content and suggestions for delivery of the eight curricular modules are detailed. The described ARWP is a novel innovation in Canadian postgraduate medical education. We believe this ARWP is the first comprehensive, formalized, actualized program in Canada. It also provides a guide and a helpful resource for further development of resident wellness programs by other disciplines in Canada and internationally.
