Clinical Trial Summary

It is common knowledge that music has a positive impact on human well-being. It is also well-known that medical residents are frequently stressed and burnt out. With these two thoughts in mind, the investigators want to explore how participating in a musical engagement program may positively impact medical resident well-being. The investigators hope to do this by hosting four informal musical engagement sessions with medical residents, which will involve playing instruments, improvising, and reading sheet music. To study the impact that this program has on participants, investigators will ask participants to complete a survey. The investigators hope to find that participants are positively impacted by participation in the study, in terms of factors like stress reduction and minimized burnout symptoms. Hopefully, the study results may inform residency program curriculum designers in the future may incorporate music into wellness programming.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Improvement of burnout symptoms Participants will respond to three questionnaires - before, during, and after the study has completed. Questions will pertain to burnout symptoms and each will use a 5-point Likert scale. Options will be "strongly disagree", "disagree", "neutral", "agree", and "strongly disagree". Examples of questions include "I feel burnt out" and "I have difficulty concentrating at work". Questions will be identical between each questionnaire. By comparing answers between surveys we will be able to determine how burnout symptoms may have changed during the course of the study. Eight weeks
