Resident Wellbeing
Welcome to our Wellness webpage!!!
We at Rutgers NJMS Psychiatry Residency pride ourselves in being
an extremely supportive training program. Residency can be one of the most
exciting and rewarding times in our life, but it comes with many challenges and
personal sacrifices. Finding a balance between education, patient care
responsibilities and personal life is difficult. At our program, we make
it a priority to help our residents find and live this balance through our unique
wellness curriculum.
Commitment to Diversity
Newark is host to a melting pot with representative identities
from all over the world, across the spectrum of gender and sexual orientation,
and our program celebrates this same diversity. New Jersey Medical School is
proud to create safe spaces for residents and fellows to congregate and
celebrate their unique identities.
- Serves as a resource and tight-knit
safe space for all LGBTQIA-identified students, graduate
students, residents, and fellows at
NJMS.
- social events, mixers, community
outreach, educational and research activities, promoting a fun, vibrant,
and safe community of acceptance.
- Educate the broader NJMS community
and ultimately improve healthcare equity for LGBTQIA+ patients.
