LSOM Wellness Pledge
Written by the Wellness Matters Student Group, 2019
As a physician-in-training, I am committed to improving the health and wellbeing of myself, my community, and my future patients.
There I pledge to:
- Recognize that my wellness is important for my health and the sake of my future patients.
- Commit to affecting change, reducing burnout, and improving patient outcomes.
- Appreciate my strengths but act within my capabilities and recognize my limitations.
- Take ownership of my actions, acknowledge opportunities to grow, and seek guidance from my peers and mentors.
- Practice self-awareness, reflection, and empathy.
- Anticipate and respond to the challenges ahead and lead by example for my patients and peers.
- Build and maintain positive relationships with friends, family, and colleagues who have supported me in the past and will share in my future.
- Consult daily with the personal beliefs, values, and morals that give my life meaning and purpose.
- Promote overall wellbeing by acknowledging the multiple dimensions of wellness.
- Contribute to the campus community and make UT Health San Antonio a safe place to learn and grow.
