Lifestyle Coaching for Fatigue Mitigation in Emergency Medicine Residents

Lifestyle Education and Personalized Coaching for Fatigue Mitigation in Emergency Medicine Residents: A Pilot Study

The purpose of this study is to determine whether personalized lifestyle coaching minimizes the negative impact of circadian disruption on performance and recovery in emergency medicine physician trainees during night shifts.

The goal of this study is to examine whether a brief personalized fatigue-mitigation lifestyle coaching (PFMLC) for emergency medicine residents on overnight shifts would minimize the negative effects of circadian rhythm disruptions on performance and recovery compared to those who receive one-time passive information on lifestyle practices.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Stanford Health Care (SHC) Emergency Medicine residents (PGY 1 to 4)
• Scheduled to work at least 3 consecutive overnight shifts at SHC Emergency Department.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Non-Stanford Health Care (SHC) Emergency Medicine residents
• Stanford Health Care (SHC) Emergency Medicine residents who are not rotating in Stanford Emergency Medicine Department
