Residency Program

Wellness Initiatives

We wouldn’t be here without the hard work of the residents, so we put a lot of effort into ensuring the physical and mental health of our team of residents.

Our department is constantly exploring ways to improve wellness efforts and culture. Here are examples of the activities and opportunities provided for our residents and the ways that we prioritize resident wellness:

Wellness committee with resident and faculty representation
Foster a culture of service and camaraderie
Formal mentorship program and leadership development
Wellness checks with a counselor
Personal day
Intramural sports
Meals at faculty homes
Team breakfast at select conferences or ordering team lunches on days
Organized discussions on various life responsibilities (e.g., finances, self-care)
Traveling to conferences
Welcome cookout for new interns
Annual resident retreat
Resident Awards
Golf or spa day for all residents
Social events (e.g., holiday party and graduation)
