Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The investigators' objective is to implement an innovative curriculum in narrative medicine for pediatric residents rotating at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC), and to evaluate whether this curriculum is protective against burnout and diminished quality of life during that rotation as measured on The Maslach Burnout Inventory-Human Services Survey (MBI-HSS) and The Professional Quality of Life Scale: Compassion Satisfaction, Burnout, and Fatigue Scale Version V (ProQOL R-V).
