A message from the director of student wellness
“There’s a reason flight attendants tell passengers to don their own oxygen masks first if they wish to rescue others. Rendering effective care always depends on the health of the provider. For too long, medical education culture was predicated on a stoicism that invited students and learners to hide their anxiety and bury their stress. The predictable result is that doctors have higher rates of depression, suicide and self-reported burnout than the general public. The Center for Student Wellness is dedicated to creating a new narrative — one that offers a permanent, structured approach to holistic student well-being.Whether you need to decompress by walking on a treadmill or calm your anxiety with solid financial advice, the Center for Student Wellness has your back. I’m here to be sure you have the resources you need to succeed and become the professional you’ve dreamed of becoming.”
To your health,
Halle B. Ellison, MD, MAS PSHQ, FACS, director of student wellness
