Wellness

Residency is an extremely exciting time in your life but it is also very demanding.  You have very sick patients to care for, long work hours, sleep deprivation and exams.  You also have other responsibilities outside of work including your relationships and pursuing personal interests.  

 

Wellness in residency is extremely important.  At Sunnybrook, we are dedicated to supporting you throughout your residency.  The Chief Medical Resident, Carolyn, is always available to talk and her door is always open with a fridge full of sparkling water.  Our site director, Dr. Zac Feilchenfeld, is also very involved in your wellness so please do not hesitate to contact him.  His contact information can be found under "Contact Us". We also have events throughout the year to help support you from a physical, mental and emotional perspective.  

​

The PGME Wellness Office also has great resources which can be found by clicking on Go to the PGME Wellness Booklet or through their website.  They also have counsellors available to talk with you should you feel that would be helpful.   The Wellness Office is completely confidential and is not connected with your program or evaluations in any way.
