Wellness

Our residency program prioritizes wellness, connection and balance through thoughtfully curated wellness initiatives and social events throughout the year.

Quarterly Wellness Half-Days

Residents are provided with quarterly wellness half-days, which can be used for personal time or to join co-residents for group activities such as: escape rooms, cooking classes, pottery/painting classes

Annual Resident Welcome Event at Chicken N Pickle

At the start of each academic year, we welcome new trainees. It is now an established tradition to have a casual and fun evening of food, games and pickleball at Chicken N Pickle. Families and significant others are encouraged to attend, making it a warm, inclusive kickoff to the residency year.
