The University of Connecticut is dedicated to producing practice-ready, well-balanced physicians. We continue to support resident well-being through several ongoing activities and programs.
At the institutional level, we have implemented a self-assessment tool for residents to monitor their level of stress/burnout. Free, confidential counseling/mental health services are provided to any resident or fellow who feels they are in need. They have access to the Employee Assistance Program and free confidential counseling by M.D. and non-M.D. providers. The residents also have access to a gym at both UConn Health and Hartford Hospitals.
Throughout the year we have multiple well-being activities for the residency such as.
- Annual Holiday Party
- Journal Club at Faculty Homes
- Graduation
- Intern Welcome Picnic
- And More
We consider well-being a priority and truly believe that you cannot take care of patients if you do not take care of yourself.
UConn School of Medicine Graduate Medical Education is committed to supporting the well-being of all our residents and fellows during their training.
