Resident Wellness & Resources
Our residency program strives to create a supportive, tight-knit resident family. Explore the following community and wellness resources below.
Resident Wellness
This is a quality our program finds unique and unmatched by most programs. Your well-being is our top priority. We support individual resident wellness with various resources and programs outlined below:
- Employee Assistance Program
- North Dakota Professional Health Program
- Burnout Survey
- Sanford Health Employee Assistance Program
Wellness Days
Each resident is provided four wellness day per academic year (1 wellness day per quarter). These are used on elective months to provide protected time for resident well-being, no questions asked. Our program understands that residents are people first and doctors second. Life happens and we need time to manage it!
Retreats
Leadership Retreats
Each year our program hosts three separate leadership retreats targeted for each year of program training. Our residents develop crucial leadership skills that will help them identify their own leadership styles and empower them to serve as a key leader of the patient-care team.
Wellness Retreats
Each quarter we dedicate our academic half-day to resident wellness. A recent example was lunch in the park followed by an afternoon pickle ball tournament!
