Wellness<\/h2>\n

Wellness is very important to us here at UT San Antonio.  We understand that in order to be the best physician you can be to take care of patients, it is important to have balance and understanding on all aspects of your life: personal, professional, financial, etc.  We also understand that wellness goes beyond singular events and days off.  That\u2019s why we have integrated a focus on wellness in several aspects of our residency education.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=”far-notso no-indent”]<\/p>\n

Wellness Wednesdays<\/h2>\n

Every block, each residency class will have a protected Wednesday evening as a class after Grand Rounds to spend time as a class, have social events sponsored by the residency program, catch up on appointments, errands, or have family time.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=”far-notso no-indent”]<\/p>\n

Yearly Directed Conference<\/h2>\n

During the course of the academic year, each residency class will divide up and have focused year-specific topics with different faculty members.\u00a0 These topics include: mentorship, time-management, loan-repayment, contracts, CV writing\/editing, retirement, insurance.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=”far-notso no-indent”]<\/p>\n

Dedicated Wellness Days<\/h2>\n

Quarterly, instead of Grand Rounds, residents and faculty will get together for specific wellness events.\u00a0 These group events are crucial for camaraderie amongst residents and faculty.\u00a0 Past events have been paintball, top-golf, yoga, river-tubing, and much more.<\/p>\n
