The following wellness and mentorship initiatives are ways we help our residents find a healthy work/life balance.
WELLNESS COMMITTEE
MISSION STATEMENT:

The Wellness Committee is composed of one member from each residency class, regardless of whether the member is DR or Integrated IR resident.
COMMITTEE MEMBERS:
- Abigail Lin, M.D.
- Lloyd Dalton Border, M.D.
- Gary Sulioti. M.D.

RESIDENT HOUSES
The Resident House Program was initiated nearly five years ago to facilitate peer support and mentoring. There are four Resident Houses (House Becquerel, House Curie, House Gray, and House Roentgen) with each House consisting of twelve to thirteen residents. At the beginning of the academic year, every incoming first-year resident is welcomed into one of the four Houses. Several on-campus Resident House lunches are organized throughout the year and off-campus House get-togethers are encouraged.

RADIOLOGY BOOK CLUB
The Radiology Book Club creates a space for residents and faculty to discuss a range of topics from wellness to diversity in a safe and casual atmosphere. The Radiology Book Club meets every other month and is usually hosted by a faculty member at their home.
