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.
