Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore how demographics and individual values, qualities, and personality traits are associated with perceptions of flourishing among medical (MD), physician assistant (PA), and nurse practitioner (NP) students. Current MD, PA, and NP students from two academic medical centers were recruited to participate in this cross-sectional study between August 6 and October 9, 2023. Participants completed the Secure Flourish Index (traditional SFI) and then applied a percentage weight to each of the six flourishing domains based on perceived relative importance to their overall flourishing. Additional survey questions included demographics and multiple validated instruments: WellRx, 2 Question Maslach Burnout Inventory, Brief COPE Inventory, the Short Grit Scale, and Duke University Religion Index. Descriptive statistics, ANOVA, correlation, and regression analyses were performed with an alpha of 0.05. A total of 393 of 1820 eligible students began the survey (21.6%) while 280, (15.4%) were included in the analysis. Traditional SFI scores were higher with higher grit (r = .368, p
