Summary
This study tests a program called ThriveCircle, where small groups of faculty at the University of Colorado School of Medicine meet six times over six months for guided conversations and shared meals. The goal is to see if these peer-led groups can reduce burnout and improve well-being among clinicians and scientists. About 160 faculty members will participate, and the study will measure changes using standard surveys.
