The Office of Graduate Medical Education provides a Resident Wellness Center adjacent to the hospital with an exercise facility, computer lab and lactation/pumping room. Our pediatric residents enjoy free healthy lunches there and also make use of on site exercise equipment and massages. At the Resident Wellness Center, resilience, wellness and relaxation are some of the many topics discussed. These resources are in addition to the free membership residents receive to the Marshall University Recreation Center. 

At the program level, we host a monthly resident wellness hour during the protected educational block time. Usually, this is free time used to enhance peer networking with ice cream (as requested by residents). Occasionally, we integrate short, interactive sessions about resilience or conduct relaxation and meditation exercises.
