Health professions education is rigorous, often associated with stress and burnout. Wellness is essential for the success of learners and future healthcare professionals.

Cognitive distortions are faulty or inaccurate thinking errors that may evolve into maladaptive behaviors, impacting academic success and the ability to cope with failure or perceived setbacks. Educators are in a unique position to foster a psychologically safe educational culture, offering reframing strategies to inspire future healthcare professionals as they develop lifelong tools that underscore the value of a growth mindset.
