Resident wellness
Resident wellness and life balance is a priority for our program. We have monthly support group meetings, retreats twice a year. Our faculty have an open-door policy and are always available to be supportive to our resident physicians.
Residency life in Decatur, Illinois
Many social events are organized through the program. These events facilitate a sense of camaraderie and community with our residents, faculty, and staff. Residents also spend time together away from the residency; anything from a simple bite to eat to going on a relaxing bike ride. Decatur is a comfortable city with a low cost of living, easy parking, short drive times, and lots of fun activities including a lakeside amphitheater, bike trails, a small-town atmosphere and great restaurants.
