UPMC Harrisburg Family Medicine – Dinner and Movie - 05.05.23

Thanks to POMA foundation, the residents at the UPMC FM program were able to participate the wellness event successfully. We developed a mutual understanding of the importance of taking time away from work to relax and build a supportive environment amongst residents to help avoid burnout. We realized ...

... the importance of taking care of ourselves and sharing stressful experiences which helped each other to realized we are not alone. Even though finding time to spend time together was challenging, we would like to continue to plan wellness activities in the future. We are looking into having a monthly wellness activity for next year. As we learned, everyone is going through similar stressful situations at the same time, and we will try to turn to each other for advice and support upon returning to work. Once again, thanks for your support in this.
