Abstract

The Mini Z is a psychometrically sound measure of worklife and wellness in practicing clinicians. Measures in residents address slightly different issues and are moderately longer, potentially limiting response rates. We adapted the Mini Z for use in residents (the Mini ReZ), using the Mini Z core 10 questions and 5 additional questions reflecting domains identified by Trockel. Validating the new variation on the Mini Z would provide program directors the means to assess well-being within their programs (in collaboration with their residents), and determine actionable steps for improvement. The objective of this report is to demonstrate the validation of the Mini ReZ.
