An Interview with Dr. Anne Weisman, Director of Well-Being and Integrative Medicine and
Ms. Kathryn Pauli, Manager of Well-Being and Integrative Medicine
Who does the well-being program support?
The Kirk Kerkorian School of Medicine at UNLV well-being team is dedicated to creating and
sustaining a culture of well-being for our students, residents, fellows, faculty and staff.
Why was the well-being program established?
The well-being program was created to address the high levels of burnout,
stress and anxiety in the medical 昀椀eld. Our mission: to empower members of the school of medicine community with the skills and opportunities necessary to create and maintain a healthy and holistic
lifestyle; to promote a culture with the community that encourages members to access the necessary programs to maintain
their well-being and mental health; and to foster a community of
well-being and support throughout the medical school where
self-awareness and self-care are fundamental to the training
and ongoing education of our healthcare community.

The well-being program strives to support the nine dimensions of well-being:
•

cope with life and emotions in healthy ways.
