Wellness

At Mountainside, we support wellness by:

  1. Making a hospital environment that is warm and supportive. We have an open, casual culture and encourage discussion between people of all levels of training. If a resident is struggling, we focus on giving feedback quickly, privately, and constructively.
  2. Ensuring residents have time and energy to enjoy non-medical facets of life.

Concretely, we support resident wellness by:

  1. Having shifts that are a maximum of 12 hours. No 24s, ever.
  2. Having an on-site gym for residents and teaching attendings.
  3. Establishing the Resident Wellness Committee, which plans events

Some of our Wellness Activities include:

  1. GME Funded Outings (Local Restaurants)
  2. Annual Resident Retreat (Team Building)
  3. Gym Competitions
  4. Wednesday Run Club (Faculty and Residents)
  5. Holiday Parties
  6. Hospital Parties
  7. Resident Birthday Parties
  8. Regular Team Building Activities
