Resident Well-Being

ARMC’s medical residency programs are committed to ensuring resident physicians take care of themselves both physically and mentally while receiving a world-class educational experience. ARMC provides access to well-being resources, both at the program and institutional levels. The GME office hosts well-being activities throughout the year, including social activities.

ARMC was selected to participate in the Alliance of Independent Academic Medical Center’s (AIAMC) National Initiative VI: Stimulating A Culture of Well-Being. As a participant of the initiative, ARMC completed a two-year well-being project designed to improve well-being of our clinical care team.
