This article was migrated. The article was not marked as recommended. Our well-intended focus on wellness may be contributing to fancy, unattainable goals. Formal programming appears to be helpful in improving resident well-being and burnout, but we may be neglecting the power of modelling the behaviors that have helped us survive as practicing physicians. Emphasizing daily self-care practices may contribute to a realistic, sustainable path to improved health and wellbeing to complement our more structured efforts.
