Resident Retreats
Our program holds annual retreats for each class, respectively. The day long retreats'efforts are aimed to discuss various skills depending on the PGY year, participate in team building exercises, and most importantly provide resident wellness.
Typically, retreats will take place at an off campus venue where half the day is provided as a structured event, and the second portion of the day is geared towards the class relaxing, enjoying clinical time off, and spending time with their class.
Although our retreats looked a bit different these past couple of years due to the pandemic, our goal and priority was to allow that day for the classes to take a step back from clinical responsibility, and focus on wellness of themselves, and their entire class.
