Work-Life Wellness

Graduate Medical Education

Residency and fellowship training is one of the most exciting times in life, but it also can present a variety of challenges to personal and professional well-being. Residents often experience emotional and physical exhaustion, anxiety, feelings of inadequacy, and strained personal relationships. These issues can often lead to depression, substance abuse, and even suicidal thoughts. Our resident wellness program strives to ensure that residents are both emotionally and academically successful. We provide a variety of confidential services, free of charge to our Residents & Fellows.
