Starting in 2018, the EM residency program instituted annual class retreats with dedicated protected time outside of academics or clinical responsibilities. Each class will be able to schedule events or activities as they see fit.
While details regarding class retreats are still being finalized, there will be certain requirements before plans can be finalized.
The majority of the class must attend as able. The ACRs have notified rotations of protected time, but residents and interns should also ensure that their supervising staff or residents are aware as well.
Planned activities must be completed as a class. This time is not intended to be liberty from responsibilities and the goal is to allow bonding time for classes and improve wellness.
Please contact the ACRs with any further questions.
