Resident Wellness

We are committed to the wellness of our residents.

Emergency residency program benefits

In addition to the standard benefits offered by GME, our program offers:

Holiday time off over Christmas or New Year’s
Resident centric scheduling, maximizing vacation preferences
Resident Retreat: Annual off-site overnight retreat offers the opportunity for residents to spend time together in a non-clinical setting. Recent locations have included Ragged Mountain and the Dartmouth Skiway. Residents are released from all clinical obligations for at least 24 hours.
