Medical school is an exciting time of life. These four years represent not only a period of incredible academic and professional growth, but also a time for future physicians to investigate who they will become as human beings. It is potentially a sacred time of immense personal exploration, as students enhance their sense of self and discover their purpose in work and in life.
At the Keck School of Medicine Office of Well-Being, we believe that a physician is only able to care for others if they care for themselves first. We acknowledge the stress inherent in medical school and encourage a culture of compassion for self and others, with an emphasis on work-life balance. Our mission is that our array of well-being resources not only helps students thrive throughout their four years of medical school but inspires them to become champions of physician well-being in their future endeavors.
