USF Health GME values your well-being while you’re here training with us. We are committed to ensuring that our residents and fellows remain physically, financially, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually healthy while completing their training program. Residency and fellowship training can be a stressful time, and it is important to know about resources available to you. • Wellness resources include programs to cope with burnout, tragedy, depression & substance abuse, fatigue management and self-screening tools for overall mental health and depression. Residents and Fellows have free access to the Headspace App, a meditation and mindfulness tool. • Staying physically active is an important key to support wellness, but it can be tough with all the demands placed on a residents’ time. So, we’ve created an environment to help our residents and fellows maintain active lifestyles to ensure good physical health. This includes full-service, stateof-the-art fitness centers with complimentary memberships, nutrition/food apps, fitness trainer/ tracker apps, and health care when you’re unwell. Residents and fellows who train at our primary teaching hospital, Tampa General, also enjoy an on-site fitness center at no cost. • Additional wellness resources • And we have fun as a well-connected GME family. Our GME Wellness and Resident Advisory committee facilitates wellness events annually. Geared towards different aspects of wellness

From becoming published scholars, to researchers who lead discoveries to managing being both a resident/fellow and a parent, we support you through all aspects. Resident Assistance Program (RAP) • Available 24/7/365 to provide confidential support, counseling, and assessment to residents, family members, and significant others. The first 8 visits are free. Residents and Fellows are also eligible to use the USF Employee Assistance Program (EAP) in addition to RAP. We offer many resources to help with Resident Scholarly Activity through the Research Innovation and Scholarly Endeavors (RISE) office including biostatistical support and editing services. We also have a GME Resident/Fellow Research Grant through the GME Research sub-committee. Understanding that many of our residents and fellows are building families while training, USF Health GME provides an extensive guidebook with many resources to help our trainees balance training and family life. This includes school options, nearby neighborhoods to reside in, childcare options and much more.
