The Pathology Residency Wellness Committee works to support the overall well-being of the trainees in our department.
We approach wellness from a holistic perspective, hosting a variety of activities covering all wellness domains. These activities may include:
- Weekly wellness walks around campus and the surrounding neighborhoods
- Monthly newsletter outlining events in the area of interest to people with a variety of interests and needs (including trainees with families)
- Special gifts to celebrate birthdays and to support those studying for board exams
- Wellness corner with puzzles and activities for use during work breaks
- Special events during the work day, such as on-site yoga, flower bar, book club, and educational lectures
- Social events such as bowling, 5K run/walk, movie or ceramics night, and sporting events for trainees and their families
