Meaning in Medicine
Finding Meaning in Medicine and Meaning Report are two offerings that UKIM residency program provides based on data that physicians flourish when they are afforded the opportunity to share about joys and challenges of medicine with their colleagues who understand their lived experience. Alternating monthly, these sessions are based on Dr. Rachel Naomi Remen's work "The Healer's Art" and are either hosted at an attending's home or during the regular morning report time to allow for residents to connect with one another over a meal.
Shoutouts
Our residents, fellows, and faculty make meaningful contributions every day. This space is an opportunity to recognize colleagues who go above and beyond—through teamwork, teaching, leadership, or acts of support. Take a moment to acknowledge someone who made a difference.
Social Chairs
Social Chairs foster community within our residency by organizing social events and opportunities for connection throughout the year. Their efforts support resident wellness and strengthen our program’s sense of community. They also manage the program’s social media accounts, highlighting resident life and celebrating our community. Please contact them with suggestions or if you are interested in contributing to the program’s social media.
