Examining Mental Health Resources in Graduate Medical Education: Key Findings of a National Survey
This article describes findings of a survey regarding the provision of mental health services by ACGME-accredited institutions, identifies gaps, and highlights best practices.
Extending Arts‑Based Interventions in Graduate Medical Education through the Positive Humanities: the Re‑FRAME Workshop
Arts-and-humanities-based interventions are commonly implemented in medical education to promote well-being. Through program evaluation of this visual art workshop, we used a positive humanities framework to elucidate potential mechanisms by which arts-based curricula support well-being in internal medicine interns. Fifty-six PGY-1 trainees filled out an open-ended survey after participating in the workshop. Four themes emerged for supporting well-being among participants: becoming emotionally aware and expressive through art, pausing for reflection, practicing nonjudgmental observation, and normalizing experiences through socialization. Our project substantiated proposed mechanisms from the positive humanities for supporting well-being—including reflectiveness, skill acquisition, socialization, and expressiveness.

Patients, Peers, and Personal Identity: A Longitudinal Qualitative Study Exploring the Transformative Potential of the Arts and Humanities in Intern Training
Medical education initiatives incorporate arts and humanities (AHs) to foster
physician competence and professionalism. We explored the impact of AH instruction in graduate medical education (GME) by evaluating the potential of a
longitudinal curriculum incorporating AHs for the personal and professional
development of internal medicine interns throughout their intern year. Fourteen IM interns participated in a longitudinal qualitative study, recording longitudinal audio diaries (LADs) and participating in semi-structured interviews.
Three themes emerged that reflected the transformative potential of AHs: reclaiming personal sense of self, building community, and re-surfacing of
empathy.
