Well-Being Index

Your well-being as a student, physician or non-clinical faculty is vital to the learning environment and, ultimately, to patient outcomes. Assess your well-being and compare your results nationally.

The University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Medicine invites you to participate in the Well-Being Index. This validated tool is an opportunity to help you better understand your overall well-being and areas of risk compared to other peers or across the nation, as well as provide access to local and national resources.

It’s important to note, this tool is 100% anonymous — your information and score are private and your individual score will not be shared with the UMKC School of Medicine or anyone else.

Setting up an account is easy and completing the index takes less than one minute. There are only nine questions for students and physicians and seven questions for non-clinical faculty.

Track your well-being over time

The Well-Being Index tracks your results over time. This allows you to correlate changes in well-being results to life events. Based upon these results, the tool provides resources when they’re needed the most.

Compare your scores to others nationally

The most accurate way to assess your well-being is to compare your results to others on a national level. This allows you to see which areas you exceed and which areas you’re at higher risk compared to your peers.

Access free resources

We strive to provide the best education and awareness through resources. After completing the Well-Being Index, you will have access to both national and local resources across multiple categories and topics.

The School of Medicine promotes the Well-Being Index every March and September.
