Speaker: Alex Schupper
In what ways has the resident greatness program and/or coaching from Dan supported you? This can be personally, professionally, or both.
Alex Schupper: Resident Greatness Program has supported me both professionally with my endeavors at work, as well as personally throughout my life, by improving stress physical capabilities, organization within my life and outlook for how to manage stress, burnout anxiety and overall improve my performance as a resident.
What sort of impact do you feel the resident greatness program has on the team and department work culture?
Alex Schupper: The Resident Greatness Program has had a positive impact overall. In our resident culture were more collaborative, We're more open with speaking with each other about one another's opinions or work ethic how we manage trusting burnout, how we manage anxiety. Throughout our day. It's really created an open dialogue for the residency that I believe overall has had a positive impact on our culture here.
Why should the department continue implementing the resident greatness program?
Alex Schupper: The Resident Greatness Program has been a great addition to our curriculum here at Mount Sinai neurosurgery. I believe the department should continue to implement this program, as it's great in preventing resident burnout, helps with stress and providing us with tools to manage anxiety and the emotional toll that residency can. And I believe it's a great compliment residencies now we really need to place focus, focus and emphasis on burnout avoidance and how to battle stresses that we deal with this residence, and this provides a nice framework for them.
