\"Wellness<\/div>

Well-Being is a lifestyle, a way of living that encourages good physical and mental health. A balanced lifestyle includes emphasis on the mind, body and spirit. The Graduate Medical Education (GME) Office is committed to supporting the well-being of all our residents and fellows during their training. Doing so allows residents and fellows to find meaning and fulfillment in their career choices.<\/p>\n

This corner of our website is designed to promote the eight dimensions of well-being which include the physical, intellectual, emotional, spiritual, environmental, financial, occupational, and social parts of life. These dimensions are interconnected. Our goal is to help residents and fellows achieve a healthy balance with resources offered through UConn Health, the Capital Area Health Consortium, and the broader community.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
