Together, they explore how the 12 well‑being items included in the ACGME annual Resident/Fellow and Faculty Surveys can be thoughtfully interpreted, and responsibly used, to support residents, fellows, faculty members, and programs. The conversation explores the origins and intent of the well‑being items, their role as signals rather than diagnostic measures, and the importance of keeping the data separate from accreditation decisions. Dr. Wallingford shares an institution‑level approach for translating survey results into meaningful action, highlighting the value of local context, deeper inquiry, and iterative improvement. Through concrete examples, the discussion illustrates how data‑informed processes can empower program leaders, strengthen trust, and drive sustainable change in the clinical learning environment. The episode also previews upcoming enhancements to ACGME well‑being reporting designed to make results more accessible and actionable for programs and institutions.
