WELLNESS
In an Emergency Department, everyday happiness is the result of healthy leadership, camaraderie, and smart infrastructure that allows residents to learn in a productive, efficient environment.
We have planned several program-wide gatherings, in addition to constant gatherings amongst ourselves on any day or night of the week. We have official sponsored events throughout the year such as softball games, BBQs, a resident retreat, as well as informal gatherings in the city and elsewhere. Two classic department events are the yearly Christmas Party and Graduation Gala.
We recognize that there is more to well-being than socialization. We are currently developing a new wellness and resiliency curriculum, with an emphasis on wellness self-assessments. Faculty leadership and a dedicated chief resident for wellness steward the program. Wellness topics are incorporated into our weekly curriculum.
