Department of Surgery Personal Development & Wellbeing Program Catalyzes Change
The Department of Surgery is committed to improving the wellness of residents, faculty and staff. It's been three years since the department created the space for a department-wide Personal Development and Wellbeing Program. The new initiative aims to develop a cohesive culture where we support each other.
Office of Health Promotion
Guided by the MUSC mission, the Office of Health Promotion (OHP) leads an interdisciplinary effort through collaborative action to increase individual and collective health and well-being at MUSC and in the communities we serve. Our team is available to present on a wide range of wellness and healthy lifestyle topics and can help promote wellness events on and off campus. For more information email us at musc-empwell@musc.edu. As a designated Center of Excellence by the South Carolina Hospital Association's Working Well Initiative, the MUSC Office of Health Promotion provides leadership in our community and across the state to create healthy workplace environments, positively impacting the health and wellness of our state's workforce.
Physical Fitness Across Campus: Through our participation in the SC Working Well program, MUSC Office of Health Promotion has been working to establishing a culture of wellness where being active is the norm by providing access and opportunity for physical activity during the workday. There are many opportunities to move during the work day, including taking advantage of Holy Spokes Bike Share, the MUSC Medical Mile, Indoor Wellness Walk, MUSC Fitness Park, and joining the Wellness Center and take advantage of their employee-only express membership.
The College of Medicine Wellness Program
The Student Wellness Program for the MUSC College of Medicine exists to cultivate a culture of wellness and increase student’s productivity by empowering individuals to be self-managers of their health. Our program is designed to promote the well-being and resiliency of our medical students.
The College of Medicine takes pride in its identity as a school focused on the individual learning experience and the well-being of its students. The curriculum is rigorous and demanding, and students must work very hard to meet all standards. Providing excellent student support is imperative and is realized through the work of many College of Medicine administrators, faculty, and deeply committed student wellness leaders who strive to prioritize meeting the needs of students.
