Abstract

Burnout among emergency medicine (EM) residents is gaining increasing attention. The authors designed a workshop to assess EM residents' resilience using a validated scale to prompt personal reflection. The workshop then shifted to peer-to-peer conversations and sharing using images from Visual Explorer (VE) to further reflect on resilience. Overall, resident resilience scores were below those of the US general population, with post-graduate year (PGY)-2 year residents having the lowest scores. The workshop was well received by residents; data from the Critical Incident Questionnaire (CIQ) suggested that residents felt engaged during discussion of the images. Further study is needed to assess the correlation between resilience scores and burnout.
