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.
