Wellness + Work Life Balance

group of nephrology residents

Wellness + work-life balance in our nephrology fellowship

Our division is a warm, caring and supportive environment that values personal time and self-care. We believe work-life balance is essential for success and happiness.

Throughout the year, we host multiple events for fellows, staff and their families to connect and relax together. In the summer, we welcome new fellows with a fun ice cream social and a division-wide outing at a faculty member’s home, complete with a feast and activities like a bouncy house. We also organize trips to local amusement parks such as Canobie Lake.

In the fall, fellows and their families enjoy apple picking, a sunset cruise and other local events. We invite them to fall and spring retreats at the program director’s cabin in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. At the end of the year, we celebrate with a graduation party for the entire division.

Throughout the year, we have potlucks, paint nights, dinners and many other social gatherings. Fellows also get to choose four additional wellness events funded by the division, with protected time to participate.

We offer a generous parental leave policy to support fellows with expanding families.

Feel free to ask our fellows and staff about these wonderful experiences — they truly make a difference.
