1/7 In a short period of time, the PGME community has sadly experienced the tragic loss of 3 of our learners. The positive impact they had, & contributions made during their residency at McMaster will continue to inspire many. They will be missed but always remembered.

The entire @mch_childrens community is heartbroken over the tragic passing of Dr. Nayman, @mac_peds resident. She embodied the excellence, caring, compassion and change-the-world attitude to which we all aspire. Our hearts and prayers go out to her family, friends and loved-ones

A cluster randomized controlled trial of a novel mindfulness curriculum found no impact on pediatric intern burnout, mindfulness, or empathy. Ongoing research is needed to identify interventions that decrease burnout among trainees. ja.ma/3tRWJbx @FraimanYarden
