Residents are encouraged to utilize a variety of services offered by our Graduate Medical Education (GME) department and Employee Health Office to monitor their personal wellness. The 6-Well program was instituted to maximize access to medical and mental health services. Also available are:
- EAP (Employee Assistance Program)
- Physician Well-Being Self-Assessment Tools offered by our GME office
- Physician Wellness support by Dr. Edward Silberman (Psychiatry)
Our residents participate in social activities to promote morale, collegiality, happiness and to decrease the risk of burnout. Examples of activities that our residents have enjoyed include a “Sunset’ cruise around the Boston harbor, dinner at the “Top of the Hub” restaurant, a night out at the Boston Symphony Orchestra, and a team building exercise called “Escape the Room” where the residents work together to solve a series of challenges within a 60 minute time frame, and strawberry picking at Ward's Farm in Sharon, MA.
