![“To reduce stress, I like to cook and bake. [This activity] helps with my mental health by allowing me to get focused on the flow of the activity and take a mental break from the stressors in my life...My go-to cooking tends to be Chinese food.” - Dora Chen '22, First Year Medical Student
Student wellness becoming more of a prominent topic in recent years involves a generational shift: millennials are generally more willing to ask for help and to avail themselves of the support services they came to expect as undergrads. “They’re a different generation than we were,” says Dr. Dana Zappetti, assistant professor of medicine and associate dean for student affairs, who earned her MD in 1999. “Our students want to talk about stress and issues surrounding mental health and self-care. They are motivated to ask hard questions about how physicians and trainees work, and how self-care and well-being can be integrated and accepted into a culture that has traditionally been built upon self-sacrifice.” Yet because burnout—and, conversely, wellness—have been so widely discussed among students and trainees, “it has opened the door for faculty to talk about it as well,” says Dr. Klaus Kjaer, chief quality and patient safety officer for the Weill Cornell Physician Organization. Still, he says, “More senior faculty come from a generation where it was important not to show any weakness. It will take time to change that culture. At the same time, many faculty will be relieved that we are finally starting to talk about this.” Eight students have shared what helps them cope with stress and how they are #BattlingBurnout from their vigorous lives as med students. 📸: @stephaniedianiphoto #WeillCornellMedicine #WCMMagazine #MedEd](http://scontent.cdninstagram.com/vp/fdc8d61fe4384112d149304371ce0f72/5C9C2339/t51.2885-15/e35/c0.109.875.875/s150x150/46093423_498444323997145_1663826906713085072_n.jpg)
