Fostering Resilience: An Intervention for Women Physicians at Risk for Burnout
Physicians in general are at risk for burnout, and this risk is heightened among women,
particularly mothers. In a randomized design, central hypotheses in this study are that
mothers who attend our 12-week Relational Psychotherapy Mothers Group (RPMG) intervention
will show significantly greater decreases in stress, depression, burnout, and associated
risk biomarker indices, as compared to comparison controls (who would meet in unstructured
gatherings, for an hour a week for 12 weeks). Additionally the investigators hypothesize
that the gains would be maintained three months after the intervention is completed.

Inclusion of Women and Minorities:
- This study will be restricted to women physician mothers, who are the target of the
manualized RPMG program.

Exclusion criteria
- Participation in this study is open to all Mayo physician mothers with a child under
the age of 18 years.

active suicidality, or meet criteria for psychoses, during initial assessments or
