Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if app-based wellness programs can help improve wellbeing and self-compassion for medical residents. This is a pilot study, which is done on a small group of people to learn if a larger study would be useful. The main questions it aims to answer are:
1. Are app-based wellness interventions feasible and acceptable in a high-stress population like medical residents?
2. Can app-based wellness programs improve wellbeing and self-compassion in medical residents?
Researchers will compare the app-based wellness program to a time- and attention-matched control program.
Participants will:
* Complete online questionnaires at the start of the study and again after completion of the wellness program
* Be assigned by chance (like a coin toss) to one of two different app-based programs, and will participate in the assigned program for 6 weeks. Both programs will involve weekly lessons and brief, daily exercises. Engagement with these exercises will not be mandatory but highly encouraged.
