ABSTRACT

Introduction:

Burnout is an increasingly prevalent problem among resident physicians. To address this problem, the Accreditation Council on Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) created the Back to Bedside initiative, supporting resident-driven projects focused on increasing direct interactions with patients. In 2017, Baylor College of Medicine (BCM) Internal Medicine Residency received a Back to Bedside grant to develop and implement "Humanism Rounds," a multifaceted program which sought to promote personal connections between residents and patients and foster reflection about patients' non-clinical stories, with the hopes of reducing burnout and increasing residents' sense of meaning at work. Materials and

Methods:

Between 2018 and 2020, internal medicine residents were instructed on and encouraged to participate in Humanism Rounds. The program included three components taking a "human history," bedside rounds focused on non-clinical concerns, and sharing patient stories with colleagues ("celebrations"). Residents were surveyed using institutional and ACGME surveys regarding burnout, meaning at work, and the clinical learning environment.

Results:

Three hundred eleven institutional (response rate, 74%) and 328 AGCME (response rate, 78%) surveys were completed and analyzed. Residents who actively engaged with Humanism Rounds reported more meaning and fulfillment at work (p < 0.001). During the period of this project, ratings of the learning environment and personal callousness improved among subgroups of residents.

Conclusions:

Baylor College of Medicine Internal Medicine residents who engaged with Humanism Rounds reported more meaning and fulfillment in their work. This program describes a low-cost model for other specialties and institutions to strengthen human connections and improve residents' experience during training.
