Fellow Well-Being
Work life balance is hugely important to the program. We strongly encourage all our fellows to take time off throughout the year and to make time for life outside the unit. We also encourage bonding outside of service among fellows by hosting semi-annual events to get away and spend time together.
Wellness is also important to the institution. UT Southwestern has a Resident Wellness and Counseling Center committed to the well-being of trainees. To find out more information, please click here.
