Wellness
At Mountainside, we support wellness by:
- 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.
- Ensuring residents have time and energy to enjoy non-medical facets of life.
Concretely, we support resident wellness by:
- Having shifts that are a maximum of 12 hours. No 24s, ever.
- Having an on-site gym for residents and teaching attendings.
- Establishing the Resident Wellness Committee, which plans events
Some of our Wellness Activities include:
- GME Funded Outings (Local Restaurants)
- Annual Resident Retreat (Team Building)
- Gym Competitions
- Wednesday Run Club (Faculty and Residents)
- Holiday Parties
- Hospital Parties
- Resident Birthday Parties
- Regular Team Building Activities
- Sports Events
- Graduation Events
- Volunteering!
