Resilient
About Resilient
In response to the increasing demands of medical education a group of students, with unwavering support from faculty and administration, developed an organization dedicated to prioritizing personal wellness at the UK 91С»Æ³µ. Although this group cannot alleviate the pressures of becoming a physician, their goal is to strengthen the resilience of medical students as they begin careers in medicine.
Resilient is a student-led organization that was established to make personal wellness a priority for all students. This medical student organization is dedicated to improving personal wellness through prevention of burnout, intervention for students who need support, and de-stigmatization of seeking care. Resilient helps make mental health resources more accessible and facilitates open conversations about mental well-being.
In order to provide compassionate, empathic, and humanistic care to patients, medical students and doctors must take care of themselves first.
