 Annual Retreat for Medical Residents

students gathering as a group for the retreat

​​​​​​​​​​​Every year all Marshfield Clinic Health System residents and fellows take a full weekday off from regular duties to attend the annual RWBC wellness retreat.​

The retreat is hosted off site and focuses on discussing topics of well-being in residency and career. Self-care activities are reviewed and practiced. The event is held in a setting conducive to reflection, relaxation and relationship building. The retreat is a major commitment by Division of Education leadership, residency/fellowship training programs, and the organization as a whole to your well-being.  MCHS medical centers commit to functioning for the day without residents and fellows.​

Residents and fellows returned to Rock Ridge Orchard to enjoy a beautiful fall day at a fantastic venue among hundreds of apple trees.  The day included icebreaker activities and wellness education on awareness, self-assessment, mitigation, and resources for burnout and depression as well as key skills for adopting a growth mindset to support training.  Residents and fellows enjoyed another year of homemade pizza and caramel apples and time to roam the orchard to pick apples.  RWBC debuted the Resident Olympics and attendees enjoyed our annual tradition of hearing reflections and wisdom from chief residents.  Here​ are a few photos from the day.​
