Editor's Picks Budgeting can be a challenge for anyone, and medical residents are no exception. Here’s four tips for easy budgeting during the stressful time of residency.  
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. The advantage of this approach is that the interviewer knows what is in the candidate’s file, and each interviewer can focus on one portion of the application during the interview. As the distinction between what is acceptable to post on social media and what is not continues to blur for everyone, physicians face an additional burden. When it comes to social media, they must not only know how to tell the difference between what is harmless fun and what could be harmful to their reputations—they must also distinguish between what posts protect patient privacy and what posts could potentially be HIPAA violations.
Marketing Spotlight For many new physicians, residency can be a major source of stress and fatigue, which affects their ability to care for themselves and their patients. Recently, the ACGME added a Well-Being section to its Common Program Requirements. Although it is not a new problem, issues regarding physician mental health have been slow to address thanks to certain lingering stigmas.
Resident Well-Being is a tool for residency program directors, coordinators, and faculty to teach residents how to pay more attention to their self-care and understand the influence their wellness has on the care they give their patients. This resource will specifically address how to help residents with burnout, depression, stress, and achieving a healthy work-life balance. Training tools are included, as well as case studies and examples from various programs about the tools they have already 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
