Resident Involvement

Resident Council

The Resident Council was established as an additional route for direct resident feedback. Lead by second-year residents, with representatives from all classes and combined programs in attendance, the group meets monthly to discuss resident concerns and elicit real-time feedback on new initiatives in the department.

Diversity Council

Established to promote inclusivity & support diversity in medicine, the Diversity Council is comprised of residents and attendings from across the department. For more information, see our Diversity page!

Women Resident Collective (WoRC)

The Women Resident Collective (WoRC) aims to provide valuable networking resources, mentorship opportunities and skill building for women residents and fellows with the goal of decreasing the gender gap and increasing leadership participation among the next generation of women graduates. The group was started in the pediatrics department and hosts quarterly events that are open to all!

If you are a medical student, resident, fellow, or attending interested in participating or hosting an event, or if you are interested in donating to our group, please contact us at womenresidentcollective@gmail.com.
