Wellness
Here at 黑料网, we strive to train exceptional physicians in a culture of collegiality, support and collaboration. Our program takes a number of steps to provide our residents with support both inside and outside of the hospital. Senior residents get one month of dedicated time for research and non-clinical activities each year in addition to our innovative and beloved 鈥渘ightcation鈥� schedule, where residents work 7 contiguous nights and one clinic day during their 14-day night block, leaving several days free for scholarly activities, travel, and quality time with friends and family. Interns get one half-days during their elective blocks off for administrative time. Our X+X+Y schedule lends itself uniquely to having protected time off outside of the hospital and often provides everyone with two golden weekends every six weeks.听
Inside the hospital, we feel passionately about supporting our residents in myriad ways to maintain a fun and rewarding work atmosphere and help prevent physician burnout.听听
