Wellness

Our program emphasizes resident wellness and believes that wellness is essential for physicians to function at their best. We address wellness in multiple ways including the following:

• Access to free, confidential psychiatric services.
• Castlight, a central repository for all Piedmont wellness benefits including physical wellness, behavioral health resources, and wellbeing peer coaching.
• Protected time-residents are provided with protected time to focus on their didactic learning as well as time to attend to personal commitments and medical or behavioral health appointments. 
• Retreats: the program schedules two retreats per year which are planned by our psychiatry resident wellness representatives.
• Faculty support-all residents are assigned an individual supervisor who can provide support. 
• Free (mostly) healthy snacks/meals when residents are on call.
