Residency Retreat

In September of each year, all of our residents and core faculty road trip a couple of hours north of Detroit for our annual residency retreat. We stay in cabins in the woods together and take full advantage of this time away. This dedicated time together is an unparalleled opportunity for bonding and team building. The day is filled with group activities like canoeing or Backyard Olympics, and a portion of the afternoon is dedicated to important discussions with our program faculty addressing issues of ethics, professionalism, communication and wellness. The rest of the afternoon and night are filled with games, delicious food, bonfires, and lots of laughs.

“Mandatory” Fun Events (MFEs)

Every month we have a dedicated MFE set up by a third year resident with one of our awesome attendings. These events are generously sponsored by our attendings. While they aren’t truly “mandatory”, you won’t want to miss them. Some of our past MFEs have included top golf, tiki boat tour, pool parties, shooting range, paintball, escape rooms, painting with a twist, golf outings, and more!
