A proposal to enhance wellness and resiliency training, led by RC Stabile, associate director for trainee wellbeing in the Office of Biomedical Research Education and Training, was recently awarded by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences.
The award, a one-year supplement to the Initiative for Maximizing Student Development T32 grant, will support the development and implementation of a pilot trainee program that will provide individuals with the knowledge and skills to improve wellbeing and resiliency in the training environment.
The project Stabile will lead is called "Wellness Explored." It will be a multi-week module that invites students in the IMSD to explore different wellness dimensions, such as physical, financial, environmental, or spiritual wellness. By diving deep into the different dimensions, participants will have the opportunity to focus on their own wellbeing while also exploring and practicing new facets of wellness. The idea is to expose students to new wellbeing experiences so they can find what fuels them-what works for them-in support of their wellness.
