Burnout has been noted to be a risk factor for suicide in physicians and is exacerbated by lack of control, lack of meaning in work, and low resource availability. Although these statistics are alarming, we firmly believe that 'engagement is the antithesis of burnout.' One way that we know can help with engagement is by cultivating community. The goal of our project is to cultivate community within the surgical department via the 'gamification' of surgical training. 'Gamification' has been a trending topic in education literature and has started to be studied in resident education, with promising results showing improved outcomes with gamification of existing structures. 000042990 540__ $$fCC BY 000042990 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000042990 650__ $$aInternship and Residency$$020937 000042990 650__ $$aGamification$$013713 000042990 650__ $$aLoneliness$$021612 000042990 650__ $$aMentors$$022053 000042990 650__ $$aInterpersonal Relations$$020939 000042990 650__ $$aMorale$$022424 000042990 650__ $$aWorkplace$$029714 000042990 6531_ $$awellness 000042990 6531_ $$ateam building 000042990 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000042990 692__ $$aDepartment of Surgery$$041449 000042990 7001_ $$10000-0002-7563-1996$$aLoss, Lindsey$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000042990 7201_ $$aCook, Mackenzie$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$eMentor$$7Person 000042990 8564_ $$923cffde9-f006-43f3-a3d3-59c250f11c5c$$s238964$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/42990/files/Abstract_SEE2024_LossLindsey.pdf 000042990 980__ $$aOHSU Symposium on Educational Excellence (SEE)
