The Residency Wellness Committee was created to promote resident wellness and resiliency, both in and out of the hospital. Two residents from each PGY are included on the committee who work together with program leadership to prioritize issues that impact the whole residency.

• Chair massage sessions were organized for residents and fellows.
• The wellness committee organized many events throughout the year, including karoake, kayaking, book clubs, the annual Halloween party at Dr. Schantz-Dunn’s house, apple picking at a New England orchard, ice skating, and holiday cookie decorating event.
• Wellness didactics are built into the schedule throughout the year and often include time and funding for outdoor time and trips to our favorite café.
• The first didactic day of each block also has built in “admin time” for doctors appointments, personal care, or just time with your family or co-residents!
