February 5, 2024 This February, the department is launching five well-being working groups that are focused on designing and implementing solutions to the most pressing well-being challenges faced by our faculty. Five working groups will spend a year tackling specific well-being concerns: Scheduling predictability and overscheduling Onboarding, orientation, and hiring The clinical work environment Equity for faculty Retention of at-risk faculty groups The working groups are using the department’s Quality of Life Improvement (QOLI) approach, a novel process that incorporates human-centered design, quality improvement and implementation science as described in an article written by Drs. Jina Sinskey, Joyce Chang, Dorre Nicholau, and Michael Gropper. The initiation of the working groups is a result of the annual UCSF engagement NPS physician work experience survey conducted in early 2023.
