RESIDENT WELLNESS | Emergency Medicine Residency

We are focused on providing resident wellness opportunities in our Emergency Medicine Residency Program. We believe that supporting our residents’ mental, emotional, and physical health is essential for both professional growth and personal fulfillment.

To promote well-being, we have dedicated monthly wellness activities during protected conference time, ensuring residents can recharge and connect without compromising their educational time.

In addition to these recurring sessions, we organize special events throughout the year, including:

  • Intern Welcome Party (Summer): A relaxed social gathering to help new interns build connections from day one.

  • Chili Cookoff (Fall): A friendly culinary competition that brings out the best (and spiciest) in our team.

  • Resident Holiday Party (December): A festive celebration held during conference time to wrap up the calendar year together.

  • Gumbo Cookoff (Spring): Another favorite food-themed event that reflects our community’s spirit and creativity.

  • Resident Retreat (Spring): A dedicated day away from the hospital for team-building, relaxation, and reflection.
