Each class of residents has an annual retreat. During these events, patient coverage is maintained by the other classes, faculty and fellows. Intern retreat is a two-day event held each fall in the North Georgia mountains, with plenty of time for class bonding and relaxation as well as personal and professional growth. The second- and third-year residents each get to enjoy a fun day off together for their retreats.
Holiday Party
Every December, program administration hosts a holiday party and invites all residents and their families. Coverage of the inpatient services is provided by the fellows and faculty so all residents can attend. It is always a great time with good fellowship!
Welcome Event
Each June, we say goodbye to our graduating seniors and hello to our new interns at a welcome event with food and family. This event provides a great chance for the incoming PGY-1s to meet their soon-to-be colleagues in a relaxed and inviting setting.
Other Events
Whether you want to cheer on the Braves, run a half-marathon, see live music, or go on a hike, there is always something going on to hang out with your co-residents!
Canvas Cafe
Quarterly, the residents can decompress and complete arts and crafts activities with members of our art therapy department.
Social Committee
Representatives from each class are elected to join the social committee for optional, informal residency-wide events around Atlanta throughout the year!
