Resident Wellness
Residency is difficult. It just is. You just finished medical school and now are entrusted with the lives of your patients. A lifetime's worth of experience and shared knowledge is obtained in a compressed three years. There are feelings of imposter syndrome you need to overcome...
​
All this and more is why SJH EM program cares about your wellness and mental health. Our program values your wellness because we know medicine is a part of your life and not your entire life. We want you to grow, learn, and develop into the type of physician you would want treating your own family. We know when you feel valued, respected, and are given the time to work on your inner you that dream can be actualized.
Resident Wellness Events
Our program holds two official resident wellness events throughout the course of the academic year. Our residents come together and decide on an activity they would all enjoy doing to blow off some steam. Our most recent resident wellness event was at Top Golf.
It's the little things
Major events dedicated to residency wellness are sure to help make our residents feel valued and give a space to unwind outside of the hospital. However, the small day-to-day things make up a large percentage of overall resident wellness. Our program cares about you as an individual and since our programs inception program leadership has made it a point to listen to any concerns of their residents. Even more importantly those concerns are always swiftly followed up by positive action on behalf of the program leadership.
