Mentoring/Career & Fellowship Prep

Each resident is assigned a faculty advisor based on their career interests.  Advisors meet quarterly with each resident to ensure they are on track toward graduation requirements.   Additionally, new PGY-1 residents will be assigned a mentor from the senior classes.  Faculty also have an open door policy.  Residents are encouraged to discuss their career interests throughout their journey with us.  

Wellness

The clinical first approach allows our residents to never go above the 80 hour work week per month average.   The frequent ambulatory clinic rotation pattern allows residents to find time away from work for self care.  Our program understands the emotional and physical demands of residency training.  Therefore, we take wellness seriously.  We integrate a dedicated wellness session every 5th didactic session.   Experts from various areas of wellness are brought in such as  Tai Chi , Yoga, mindfulness, and meditation.  Residents have one on one sessions with our behavioral psychologist every 6 months to ensure well being.
