L.I.F.E Curriculum

  • Learning to Address
  • Impairment and
  • Fatigue to
  • Enhance Patient Safety

"The LIFE Curriculum is a collaborative effort of Duke University Hospital, the UNC Hospitals, the NC AHEC, and the NC Physician's Health Program to assist graduate medical education programs, their residents, and faculty to prevent, identify, and manage resident fatigue and impairment. The project is funded in part by a grant from the Josiah Macy, Jr. Foundation." -- from the LIFE Curriculum Website.

To gain a better understanding of the LIFE Curriculum and its contents, go to the Program Tour page.

Since the LIFE Curriculum could be a useful tool for you as a program director to educate your residents and faculty and to enhance your own knowledge and skills, the GME Office at UAMS would like to make it readily available to you. You may obtain the curriculum in three ways.
