There are two major residency candidate interviewing methodologies. Most programs use the open method in which interviewers receive the application documents in advance and have the opportunity to read them ahead of time.

Marketing Spotlight For many new physicians, residency can cause fatigue and stress, which can affect their ability to take care of themselves and their patients. Recently, the ACGME added a Well-Being section to its Common Program Requirements. This topic, although not a new one, has not been addressed because of the stigma attached to it.
Resident Well-Being is a tool for residency program directors, coordinators, and faculty to teach residents to pay more attention to their self-care and understand how their wellness influences the care they give their patients. This resource will specifically address how to help residents with burnout, depression, stress, and work-life balance. Training tools are included, as well as case studies and examples from various programs about the tools they have implemented for resident wellness.
This book will help you: - Assess your program for resident wellness
- Identify signs of burnout and depression in residents
- Create a safe working and social environment for residents to excel
