Wellness
In the Department of Neurosurgery at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, we're reframing the conversation around resident wellness. We're designing systems to maximize resident education and minimize non-educational work, with the understanding that peak performance in residency requires a dedication to wellness inside and outside the work setting.
