After completion of the three-month time span, residents will receive no intervention during the second three-month study period. . A post-study survey will be completed to assess for various parameters including residents desire for continuation of virtual reality guided meditation following completion of the survey, subjective value of virtual reality as a tool for burnout, and likeliness to recommend virtual reality guided meditation to a colleague.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Guided Mediation Virtual Reality App

Intervention Type OTHER

Guided Meditation Virtual Reality App uses over 40 lush environments with 30 hours of guided meditations on Anxiety, Depression, Maternity, Resilience, Sleep, or Zen and 200 relaxing audio tracks using Virtual reality.

No intervention + Virtual Reality Assisted Meditation group

The second cohort will receive no intervention during the three-month block. After completion of the three-month time span, residents will take a follow-up MBI and then will cross over to the opposite group. After completion of the second three-month study period, an additional MBI will be completed by the residents.. A post-study survey will be completed to assess for various parameters including residents desire for continuation of virtual reality guided meditation following completion of the survey, subjective value of virtual reality as a tool for burnout, and likeliness to recommend virtual reality guided meditation to a colleague.
