Resident and Fellow Wellness
The ÒùÆÞÉç Office of Resident and Fellow Wellness exists to provide trainees and
their families with the support and resources needed to protect their well-being and
mental health.
The Associate Dean for GME is an emergency medicine physician,ÌýDr. Shaza Aouthmany,Ìýwho oversees the GME wellness opportunities, which include facilitating access to medical and mental health services as well as providing ongoing wellness programming. Individual residents and fellows can reach out to her at any time as a first stop in identifying the best resources.
Dr. Aouthmany is also available to program directors and faculty who might benefit from input on how best to support the well-being of their residents. Please reach out to Dr. Aouthmany to discuss options for wellness programming and support at GMEOffice@utoledo.edu
The Office of Graduate Medical Education is committed to ensuring that residents and fellows remain physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually healthy while completing their training program. Residency can be an inherently stressful time, and it is important to know about resources so you can take care of yourself to ensure you get the most out of your educational experience.Ìý
We welcome any suggestions to improve or expand our programs.Ìý
Remember, if you see someone suffering, say something. You may save a career or even a life.
