Residency can have its share of challenges and we are fully committed to promoting the well-being of our residents.  Our program and institutions ensure residents receive the support they need, through direct mentorship as well as institutional resources such as out Housestaff Association and Resident Wellness Committees.  Residents also have access to our nationally recognized Northwell Resident and Fellow Mental Health Program as well as our Physician Resource Network. 

​

Our program is structured to minimize excessive disruptions to resident life and allowing for adequate time off while ensuring quality and continuous patient care.  Trainees have 20 days of paid time off to use as scheduled vacation days.  Trainees are also encouraged to attend to their personal health and well-being with scheduled "Wellness Days" averaging 4 days per academic year in addition to their vacation days.  Our institution also offers one "Cultural Heritage Day" which is an opportunity for residents to celebrate their culture individually on a day of their choosing.
