Build Resilience, Battle Burnout: Stress Relief for Healthcare Workers - Clinical Trial

We are doing this study to use data-driven ways to find tools that may build resilience and lessen burnout in healthcare providers without the use of drugs. We will study two methods, called Experience Resolution Methodology (ERM) coaching and Transcendental Meditation (TM) and compare each to provide Treatment as Usual (TAU).

- Are willing to address resilience and burnout by non-pharmacological means
