Student Wellness

Welcome to the Student Wellness website, serving medical, physician assistant and graduate students on the Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center campus.

Medical, physician assistant and graduate student education can be stressful and demanding with many competing commitments. Resilience and the ability to balance commitments to one’s self, others and the larger educational and professional context are key developmental capacities for adapting and thriving during this time of continuous learning and growth. Many students find that participating in wellness activities, connections with other students, as well as, seeking the support of counseling and learning professionals can enhance a student’s ability to thrive in this intense and highly demanding environment.

It is with this awareness that our mission was developed - to support and promote the emotional, intellectual, physical, social and spiritual wellness of students on our campus through providing counseling services and wellness activities.
