Wellness of Osteopathic Medical Students Throughout Their Training (Well-COM)

Description

The Well-COM Research Project addresses a critical gap in our understanding of the holistic health of medical students, over the entirety of the medical school experience. While the rigorous demands of medical education and its effects on the well-being of medical students are well-documented, there is a lack of long-term study assessing the mental, physical, and metabolic health of medical students from entry into medical school through their training and into residency. By collecting holistic health data from new first-year medical students, and over a minimum period of 10 years, the Well-COM project aims to provide invaluable insights into the changes in health and wellness experienced by medical students, thereby informing future interventions and support systems to promote overall health and resilience in medical school students.
