UMPC Harrisburg - Emergency Medicine Residents - Trip Down the River - June 23, 2023

What Happens on the Boat, Stays on the Boat.

UPMC Emergency Medicine Residents gathered on the Pride of the Susquehanna to celebrate ...

             

          

...... the end of their residency training with family and friends.  Attendees enjoyed a delicious charcuterie board, several toasts, and many, many roasts. 

  1. General understanding/purpose of the boat ride was to expose our residents to wellness outside of the hospital in a safe environment surrounded by each other, as well as nature. To give everyone a mental break while soaking in some sun with a relaxing riverboat ride!
  2. Strategies demonstrated included coping with stress, relaxation via socialization, and life balance via mindfullness.
  3. Chaos, disarray, and disorganization.
  4. I think more participation will lead to more success - emphasizing that the event is more than just a fun outdoor event but rather a chance to step away from the stressful environment we all know. 
  5. Definitely will approach situations in a calmer manner - I think that a lot of the time we come to work with a calm demeanor but often become stressed within minutes of arriving. Will practice mindfullness to maintain a calm demeanor while working throughout my entire shift.
