A Patient-Centered Approach to Postgraduate Trainee Health and Wellness: an Applied Review and Health Care Delivery Model
Published in Academic Medicine, this literature review summarizes the healthcare needs of postgraduate medical trainees. Moreover, the authors discuss the patient-centered medical home model as a potentially effective solution to address unmet needs and support broader institutional efforts to promote wellness. They describe several practical interventions to improve access, including care coordination and referral support, confidential care without perceived conflicts of interest in the training environment, co-location of medical and mental health care, and accommodations for schedule constraints.
