During a time when resident doctor suicides are increasingly in the media and much more resident distress undoubtedly goes unreported, Canadian Family Physician is to be commended for calling for interventions to reduce resident distress.1 Resident Doctors of Canada (formerly the Canadian Association of Internes and Residents) is proud to be developing one such intervention to improve wellness in Canadian resident doctors. Based on the evidence-based Road to Mental Readiness curriculum,2 which has been developed and implemented over the past 7 years by the Canadian Armed Forces, the Resident Doctors of Canada curriculum will teach residents practical tools for identifying stress and improving resilience. On February 20, 2015, a summit on this topic was held in Ottawa, Ont, to gain feedback from national medical organizations, wellness experts, and resident doctors. We are thrilled by the overwhelmingly supportive comments we have received, and excited to bring this to medical training across the country very soon, in order to benefit the mental health of physicians across Canada.
