First Ever Radiology Resident Retreat Coming Soon The first ever radiology resident retreat will be held on September 10th, 2021. A normal feature of any residency is the social connections made with people who the residents spend days, weeks, and years with. Many lifelong friendships are forged during this uniquely challenging time in training. Since the arrival of COVID-19, the residents have experienced an unprecedented level of distancing and isolation. Despite the isolation, the residents have maintained a high level of professionalism at work. The retreat will serve as an opportunity to reestablish cohesiveness among the residents after more than a year of relative isolation. All DR residents, R1-R3 integrated IR residents, and a few faculty members will be attending the retreat. Leah Gilligan (R2) planned the event which will be held at Whirlyball in Bucktown. Multiple activities are planned including team-building games and activities such as Whirlyball and laser tag. Guest speakers will also be discussing strategies and techniques to maintain wellness in residency and throughout a career in medicine. The event will close with a discussion among all residents and leadership about ways to maintain open communication between residents and faculty/leadership. - Rishi Agrawal
