Internal Medicine Residency
We have three major retreats- at the end of the year we meet off site with all the categorical interns to talk about the skill set needed to be a successful resident and teacher. We have an offsite retreat for the rising PGY3s, with the focus on system issues and the leadership role of a PGY3. Mid-year we have an evening retreat for current interns to discuss how the year is going and get their feedback on the training program
Our residents organize housestaff social events on an ad hoc basis during the year with financial support from the residency. The Department of Medicine organizes a Holiday Party in December, and a graduation dinner in the spring. Families and friends are invited to the graduation dinner, which also features awards and a skit spoofing the hospitals and faculty (primarily the program directors…………).
