Internal Medicine Wellness Curriculum

Our program is committed to the wellness of our residents. Work-life balance is truly a worthy goal and not just a catchphrase at the University of Kentucky.

Small Groups

Our program has started resident led clubs with shared interests to help connect folks outside of the hospital. Example of these groups include:

  • Running 

  • Wine and Cheese

  • Gardening 

  • Cooking 

Clubs on the horizon include: Car and Truck Club and Hiking Club!

These groups continue to grow and if you don't see one that fits your interests, we encourage you to start your own! This is a great way to get connected with peers with similar interests- or learn a new hobby you've been wanting to try! 

Finding Meaning in Medicine

This is a fan-favorite series of special get-togethers where residents share food, drinks and personal stories related to their residency experience. True to our culture of work family, dinners are usually co-hosted by an upper-level resident and Angela Webb, MD, Associate Chair for Wellness, at her home. 

UK IM Shout Outs
