This study is a prospective cross-over trial examining the effect of virtual reality assisted meditation on resident reported well-being using validated scoring systems. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of virtual reality guided meditation as a mechanism to improve plastic surgery resident well-being. The secondary objective is to assess resident likeliness to continue mindful meditation following completion of the study.
All plastic surgery residents participating will spend three months with access to virtual reality assisted meditation and three months without access to this technology. Assessment scores will be taken before and after the first three month period, and then again following the second three month period.

| Change in Emotional Exhaustion as measured by Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) | Emotional exhaustion as measured by Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) before and after virtual reality guided meditations. All MBI items are scored using a 7 level frequency ratings from "never" to "daily." The MBI has three component scales: emotional exhaustion (9 items), depersonalization (5 items) and personal achievement (8 items). Each scale measures its own unique dimension of burnout. Higher scores in emotional exhaustion contribute to higher levels of burnout. | Baseline, 3 month visit, 6 month visit |
