Wellness is not treated as a collection of perks. The program focuses on protecting time, maintaining durable relationships, and giving residents practical support for the parts of emergency medicine that are difficult to teach in a lecture.
Protect Your Time
Protected Wellness Time
Two protected wellness days each year create dedicated time away from clinical duties to reconnect with your residency community and enjoy life outside the hospital.
Resident-Led Scheduling
Residents participate directly in scheduling, with protection for conference, golden weekends, and important personal or family events whenever possible.
Resident Voice
Resident input shapes scheduling, education, wellness, and the continued evolution of the program. You have a voice in how the residency improves.
Know Your People
Mentor Families
Longitudinal mentor families begin around Match and continue through residency and beyond graduation.
Mental Health Support
Free mental-health support is available for residents and their families, including therapy, life coaching, and strategies for anxiety and stress.
Build a Sustainable Career
The Un-Hidden Curriculum
Training includes fatigue mitigation, conflict resolution, difficult-case debriefing, and strategies for coping with moral distress and other challenges that are part of emergency medicine.
Career Longevity & Check-Ins
Faculty support residents' individual interests and long-term career goals, with semiannual check-ins to make sure each resident has the resources and support needed to thrive.
