Wellness in Our Program

At Carolinas Medical Center, resident wellness is a priority. We recognize that residency is both rewarding and demanding, and we strive to create an environment where residents feel supported throughout their training.

Wellness highlights of our program include:

  • Protected wellness time built into the residency experience, giving residents dedicated opportunities to step away from clinical responsibilities and recharge. Including Wellness Retreats! 
  • Regular social events that bring residents together outside of the hospital and help foster a strong sense of community within our program
  • Strict adherence to ACGME duty hour requirements limiting clinical and educational work hours to a maximum of 80 hours per weeks, averaged over a four-week period.
  • No call for interns, allowing our newest residents to adjust to residency while maintaining time for rest and recovery.
  • Protected Administrative Time - Dedicated time in the workday to complete professional responsibilities
  • Executive and Professional Coaching
  • Free and confidential counseling services available to residents through Atrium Health's Employee Assistance Program.
  • Food Stipend!! Free lunch provided at the hospitals, access to physicians lounge with snacks
  • Free Parking 

Wellness within our program extends beyond individual resources. We aim to foster a culture where residents support one another, build meaningful connections, and have the space to grow both personally and professionally. Atrium Health has a system wide Nationally recognized initiative - Best Place to Care!
