Wellness is a core value of the Weill Cornell Radiology Residency, supported at every level of leadership. Many of our wellness initiatives were created by residents and continue to evolve based on their input. Our wellness programming is led by our resident wellness committee and includes:
A structured wellness curriculum, in which residents participate in a curated lecture and workshop series. These sessions have featured experts in psychology, nutrition, and integrative medicine, among others, and have included interactive components like mindfulness, meditation, and yoga.
Dedicated resources toward resident wellbeing, including a wellness stipend or ClassPass access, which can be used for fitness classes, yoga, cycling, meditation, massages, and more. Gym membership discounts are also available through the institution. It’s common for residents to attend classes together as a fun way to recharge after work.
The annual resident wellness retreat, which is held each year in late summer or early fall, lays the foundation for a connected, supportive residency culture. Its goal is simple but powerful: to build relationships that transform co-residents into trusted friends—so when you’re faced with a tough case in the reading room, you know you’re never alone.
Set in relaxing, outdoor-friendly locations, the retreat features resident-led programming designed to encourage team-building and self-care. Whether it’s hiking, yoga, healthy cooking workshops, or simply enjoying time in the great outdoors together, there’s something for everyone to enjoy and connect over.
