Residents Wellness

Your Well-Being, Our Priority
At the Neurology Residency Program at One Brooklyn Health System, we believe that the cornerstone of excellent patient care is the well-being of our residents. We are committed to fostering an environment where our residents can thrive both professionally and personally. Our comprehensive wellness policy underscores this commitment by offering a variety of resources and initiatives aimed at supporting mental health, work-life balance, and overall wellness.

Mental Health Resources: Strength in Support
We understand the demanding nature of residency and the importance of mental health in maintaining high standards of care. OBH provides accessible mental health resources including confidential counseling services, stress management workshops, and peer support groups. Our residents have access to experienced mental health professionals who offer personalized support tailored to their unique needs.

Work-Life Balance: Creating Healthy Boundaries
Achieving a harmonious work-life balance is essential for long-term success and personal satisfaction. Our residents benefit from structured schedules that prioritize ample time for rest and personal activities. We offer work-life balance workshops that equip residents with practical strategies to manage their time effectively, set achievable goals, and maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Fatigue Mitigation Strategies: Safeguarding Energy and Focus
Fatigue mitigation is a critical aspect of our wellness program. The Neurology Residency Program at OBH employs well-designed on-call schedules and a night float system to ensure our residents are well-rested and alert. We also provide fatigue management training, promoting strategies that help residents recognize and address fatigue early.

Creating a Supportive Community: More Than Just Colleagues
We believe in the power of community. Our wellness initiatives extend beyond individual support to include social activities and team-building events that nurture camaraderie among residents.
