A scientific approach to evaluating our commitment to well-being

Indiana University School of Medicine is committed to supporting a culture of wellness and engagement.

One of the most significant efforts toward supporting the culture of wellness across both IU School of Medicine and IU Health is our joint investment in institutional membership of the Healthcare Professional Well-Being Academic Consortium (PWAC). The organization focuses on validated measurement of well-being outcomes and determinants and offers members access to a growing benchmarking database that is powered by nationwide member-administration of the core PWAC survey.

 

The Indiana University institutional survey

All attending physicians, clinical faculty, resident/fellow trainees and advanced practice providers employed by IU Health and IU School of Medicine were asked to participate in a well-being survey between Nov. 29, 2022, and Jan. 10, 2023. A non-clinical version of the survey was administered to faculty scientists, postdoctoral fellows and graduate students in spring 2023. An executive summary of findings from our first series of PWAC survey administrations is available now.
