Well Being
Well-Being and Diversity
At 网曝门事件 Health White Memorial, we understand that physicians who care for themselves are more prepared to care for their patients. Our residency programs require commitment 鈥 but we understand that residents are people, too, and need time off, rest and a sense of community. To that end, we provide a range of resources to promote physician well-being and prevent burnout.
