Mayo Clinic Family Medicine Resident Wellness Study

Overview

About this study

The objectives of this study are to better understand the association between sleep characteristics (sleep disruptions and deprivations) during overnight shifts and mental fatigue among medical residents, and to explore the feasibility of a virtual, tailored exercise program on sleep characteristics, subjective mental fatigue, and burnout level among residents in family medicine.

Ultimately, the long-term goal of the project is to find effective ways in maintaining well-being of residents whose work schedules are very demanding yet are required to provide quality care to patients.
