Summer Series 2023

This year's summer series was titled "Designing Your Career [and your life] After Residency!" It was a fun and practical opportunity to explore career opportunities and imagine the goals we have for our work and our lives after residency. Residents were taught basic health and financial literacy and were given the opportunity to connect with clinicians of a variety of career paths. This included a mix of practical sessions such as signing up for disability insurance, understanding options for loan repayment, and understanding contract language and strategies for contract negotiation. Likewise, we had amazing panelists and speakers share their career paths, both clinical and nonclinical, to expose residents to a variety of different careers. We were also given the opportunity to reflect on our goals outside of work and learn ways to optimize our time commitments. Our residents feel empowered and ready to advocate for themselves and their ideal career after this summer and we couldn't be prouder!
