​At the University of Colorado, we focus on fellow wellbeing. We ensure our program features a comprehensive curriculum to improve wellbeing and to promote work-life balance. ​​​​​​​​​​

Provide fellow mentorship and leadership training: Each fellow is paired with a faculty mentor/coach at the start of fellowship. This provides fellows an informal setting to discuss concerns about work, research or their personal lives.

• ​Every month, each fellow receives a one-half day for wellness.  Fellows are excused from all fellowship duties during this time.
• ​We instituted night float to improve work-life balance. Fellows rotate on the night float service for approximately 6 weeks per year. Night float call is taken from home. Fellows have no daytime duties while th​ey are on night float.
• We host social gatherings and events for the fellows including happy hour, sports events, etc.
• Food is provided at all of the conferences.
• ​We have dedicated conferences to discuss burnout and to reiterate resources for prevention and treating burn out.
• Fellows receive an annual stipend for food while on inpatient services.
