About this study
Official title: The MedMotion Trial on Community Building Through Virtual, Team-Based Exercise and Affects on Physician and Trainee Burnout: A Randomized, Controlled, Multi-Center Trial
This study is a randomized controlled trial that will look at whether virtual, team-based exercise improves burnout, sense of community, and mentorship connections among medical students, residents, fellows, and physicians.
Read the detailed description
Participants will be randomized to either a control group or an intervention group. The intervention group will be further randomized onto teams that will exercise for 3 months. All exercise (including walking, biking, lifting, yoga, and 40+ exercises) will be tracked via user's smartwatches (ie Apple, Garmin), smartphone fitness apps (ie MapMyRun), or manual upload, converted into Metabolic Equivalent of a Task (MET) minutes, and displayed on online leaderboards. Group activities will be encouraged by awarding raffle tickets for prizes to those who submit pictures with their teammates. Primary outcomes will be burnout, sense of community, and mentorship connections, with the hypothesis that getting everyone together for this team-based exercise will improve these metrics. After 3 months, both the control and intervention group will be enrolled in 3 months of the intervention to assess secondary outcomes: long-term burnout, sense of community, and mentorship connections, as well as adherence.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Change from Baseline Burnout at 3 months
Measured via the 2-item Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI)
The MBI is a 22-item survey that covers 3 areas: Emotional Exhaustion (EE), Depersonalization (DP), and low sense of Personal Accomplishment (PA). Each subscale includes multiple questions with frequency rating choices of Never, A few times a year or less, Once a month or less, A few times a month, Once a week, A few times a week, or Every day.
The use of 2 single items from the MBI may also be used. Item 8 ("I feel burned out from my work",) and item 10 ("I have become more callous toward people since I took this job") correlate strongly with the emotional exhaustion and depersonalization subscale scores and concurrent validity has been demonstrated (J Gen Intern Med 2012;27:1445-52. J Gen Inter Med 2009;24:1318-21.)
Individuals meet burnout criteria if they have high scores on either the EE (total score of 27 or higher) or DP (total score of 10 or higher) subscales.
Measured: 0 and 3 months
Change from Baseline Burnout at 6 months

Measured: 3 and 6 months
Change from Baseline Sense of Community at 3 months
Measured via the Stanford Professional Fulfillment Index
The Stanford Professional Fulfillment Index (PFI) is a 16-item survey that covers burnout (work exhaustion and interpersonal disengagement) and professional fulfillment. Response options are on a five-point Likert scale ("not at all true" to "completely true" for professional fulfillment items and "not at all" to "extremely" for work exhaustion and interpersonal disengagement items.)
Items are scored 0 to 4. Each dimension is treated as a continuous variable. Scale scores are calculated by averaging the item scores of all the items within the corresponding scale. Scale scores can then be multiplied by 25 to create a scale range from 0 to 100. Higher score on the professional fulfillment scale is more favorable while higher scores on the work exhaustion or interpersonal disengagement scales are less favorable.

Change from Baseline Burnout (Mayo) at 3 months
Measured via the Mayo Wellbeing Index
The Mayo Wellbeing Index aims to identify distress in a variety of dimensions (burnout, fatigue, low mental/physical quality of life, depression, anxiety/stress). It has separate medical student, resident/fellow, and physicians versions and is a 7-item instrument with yes/no response categories.
A total score is calculated by adding the number of 'yes' responses. In a sample of physicians, medical students, and US workers, every one point increase in score resulted in a step-wise increased probability of distress and risk for adverse personal and professional consequence. Score range is 0 to 7, and threshold score to identify individuals in distress is 4 or higher for medical students, 5 or higher for residents, 4 or higher for practicing physicians, and 2 or higher for other US workers.

Change from Baseline Sense of Community at 3 months
Time frame: 0 and 3 months
Measured via the Stanford Professional Fulfillment Index The Stanford Professional Fulfillment Index (PFI) is a 16-item survey that covers burnout (work exhaustion and interpersonal disengagement) and professional fulfillment. Response options are on a five-point Likert scale ("not at all true" to "completely true" for professional fulfillment items and "not at all" to "extremely" for work exhaustion and interpersonal disengagement items.) Items are scored 0 to 4. Each dimension is treated as a continuous variable. Scale scores are calculated by averaging the item scores of all the items within the corresponding scale. Scale scores can then be multiplied by 25 to create a scale range from 0 to 100. Higher score on the professional fulfillment scale is more favorable while higher scores on the work exhaustion or interpersonal disengagement scales are less favorable.

Measured via the Mayo Wellbeing Index The Mayo Wellbeing Index aims to identify distress in a variety of dimensions (burnout, fatigue, low mental/physical quality of life, depression, anxiety/stress). It has separate medical student, resident/fellow, and physicians versions and is a 7-item instrument with yes/no response categories. A total score is calculated by adding the number of 'yes' responses. In a sample of physicians, medical students, and US workers, every one point increase in score resulted in a step-wise increased probability of distress and risk for adverse personal and professional consequence. Score range is 0 to 7, and threshold score to identify individuals in distress is 4 or higher for medical students, 5 or higher for residents, 4 or higher for practicing physicians, and 2 or higher for other US workers.
