Consulting: Building A Resilience Program
Professional Developmental Perspective on Resilience Training
Our perspective incorporates a longitudinal, step-wise, and developmental approach to resiliency training that sequences and contextualizes content to correspond to distinct phases in physicians’ careers. Capacities learned early on provide necessary building blocks for subsequent skill-acquisition and are sustained and strengthened throughout the curricular progression.
The approach is modeled after traditional medical education. In early medical school, foundational domains (e.g., biochemistry, histology, anatomy, physiology) are presented, followed by the teaching of disease states organized by organ system.
The proposed approach to resiliency training similarly follows an intuitive and practical psychosocial progression:
1) Foundational Practices
2) Intra-personal Issues
3) Culture of Medicine
4) Interpersonal / Relational Capacities
5) Managing Teams and Groups
6) Professional Fulfillment and
Organizational Culture
