Sleep is essential for wellbeing, learning, performance, mood, and safe patient care. While fatigue is unfortunately not uncommon during medical training, recognizing the signs and taking steps to address it is important for both you and your patients.
At MedStar, GME will reimburse ride services if you’re too fatigued to drive safely. Additional support is available through mental health coaching and other wellbeing resources.
You can find more support and resources about wellbeing below.
