Ensminger, BA; Margaret A. Hadinger, EdD, MSLehigh Valley Health Network, Allentown, Pa.PROBLEM The ACGME and others are focusing on physician well-being as essential not just for residents/ fellows, but as a key component of ensuring a safe clinical learning environment. Identifying and addressing challenges to well-being and resiliency our trainees face – and what gaps currently exist –  is thus essential.APPROACH In September 2018, with the support of external funding, we sponsored 18-month AMA memberships for all current residents and fellows. Membership includes access to the AMA GME Competency Modules, as well as to the AMA Mini-Z Wellbeing/Burnout Survey, which was launched to all trainees in October 2018.  A follow-up survey is planned for October 2019. RESULTS Survey results were compiled and analyzed December 2018–January 2019. Two follow-up group interviews were conducted in January 2019. 156 residents and fellows took the survey. The response rate was over 50%.LESSONS LEARNED DURING THIS PILOT SURVEY INCLUDE:•  Select the survey that best fits institutional needs•  Ensure stakeholders are informed/consulted, engaged, and supportive•  Engage resident representatives early  and frequently•  Collaborate to ensure no duplication  of effort•  Promote the survey – and the confidentiality of responses •  LVHN saw greater return on investment from survey vs. versus trainee use of AMA membership or completion of competency modules.NEXT STEPS •  Survey data is being used to inform the development of a comprehensive plan to address wellbeing/burnout and to the launch pilot projects that address specific needs/gaps as identified by the survey.•  Launch of follow-up survey scheduled for October 2019; for future surveys, need to consider how best to integrate survey of trainees with other surveys network-wide, timing of survey, and possible incentives  for completionTRANSFERABILITYThis project has relevance for other Sponsoring Institutions considering implementation of the AMA Mini-Z or other similar surveys. At the time of the launch of this survey, only 12 other institutions across the U.S. had implemented the Mini-Z. Participating institutions will be organized into a consortium, with benchmarking and best practices shared across institutions.
