In fact, we have <a href=\"https:\/\/lsom.uthscsa.edu\/medicine\/education\/internal-medicine-residency\/current-residents\/chief-residents\/\">Chief Residents<\/a> who helps organize and plan monthly and semi-annual events. We are a diverse group of residents. As such, we plan out a diverse schedule of events for the year! Here is a list of a few of them:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Intern Orientation Social<\/li>\n<li>Christmas Formal<\/li>\n<li>Graduation Celebration<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-1325 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/lsom.uthscsa.edu\/division-general-medicine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/181\/2022\/10\/2021-2022-Cohort-Event-450x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\">Although we have approximately <a href=\"https:\/\/lsom.uthscsa.edu\/medicine\/education\/internal-medicine-residency\/current-residents\/\">110 residents<\/a>, there still exists a strong sense of camaraderie within our program. We all work together and there is a true sense that we are all on the same team.<\/p>\n<p>Outside of work we enjoy our social outings, which provide our residents an opportunity for some free dining and fun. Our residents are well known for their strong work ethic and dedication to their patients, and we encourage them to be just as committed to their own well being in life outside of work.<\/p>\n<h2><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1318 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/lsom.uthscsa.edu\/division-general-medicine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/181\/2022\/10\/July-1st-Hit-Team-320x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"320\" height=\"400\">Mentorship<\/h2>\n<p>Our internal medicine residency is distinctive in regards to the relationships that exist between residents and faculty. There is a very collegial atmosphere here and our faculty truly respect each resident as a colleague, rather than only looking at them as a trainee. They are approachable and truly dedicated to providing the best experience possible for the residents they are working with.<\/p>\n<p>Each intern is assigned both a resident mentor and a faculty mentor. Mentors provide guidance for our incoming interns to help get them started with research, projects, and career advancement. Mentors meet several times a year with their mentees after an initial ice cream party where all mentors and mentees meet for the first time.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Local San Antonio<\/h2>\n<p>San Antonio, while being the 6th largest city in the United States, boasts a small-town feel. Mostly known for its tourism, San Antonio has a new, up-and-coming restaurant scene and a local entertainment s<span style=\"font-size: inherit;\">c<\/span><span style=\"font-size: inherit;\">ene with music, <\/span><span style=\"font-size: inherit;\">coffee, spirits, and outdoor activities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1808 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/lsom.uthscsa.edu\/division-general-medicine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/181\/2022\/10\/walk-ga551ff6fc_1920-533x400.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"417\" height=\"313\"><\/p>\n<p>If the San Antonio Spurs basketball team is not in season, we are only a short drive from the Texas Wine Country outside of Fredericksburg, the live music scene in Austin, and the beach in Corpus Christi. San Antonio is in the process of developing a network of hiking, running, and biking trails.<\/p>\n<p>Residents often jog on the trails around the Medical Center or even the 13+ mile Leon Valley Trail or 13+ mile Riverwalk Trail. We are especially proud of the recently developed Pearl District \u2013 a 22-acre site complete with farmers markets, culinary destinations, 5-star hotel resort, night life, and splash-pad.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"carat-double\" href=\"https:\/\/uthscsa.edu\/university\/about-san-antonio\">Learn more about San Antonio<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column
