Resident Wellness

We support developing physicians to find balance, connection, and meaning in their work. Physician well-being requires an environment of inclusion, respect, and compassion; our program takes this goal very seriously.

Please ask us more about our curriculum, including these highlights:

Resident well-being representatives, who are financially supported by the program, sets priorities and plans social activities for the year.
A retreat each spring with work coverage provides opportunity for bonding and renewal.
Program sponsored lunches offer camaraderie and time to explore themes of connection, gratitude, resilience, mindfulness, goal setting, and meaning in our work.
Monthly resident support group as well as physician coaching provide a safe space for bonding and discussion.
Providence Caregiver Resource Groups provide connection based on shared characteristics or life experiences, including Black, Asian, LatinX, and LGBTQ providers.
An annual remembrance session, ICU palliative care debriefs, and Schwartz Center Rounds are examples of times for reflection.
Our residents have robust opportunity for autonomy, close doctor-patient relationships, and faculty mentorship.
We support our residents to travel to academic conferences.
Career planning is explored early and supported with 1-on-1 mentorship.
