One of the unique features of the Jacobi Medical Center Radiology Residency Program is its focus on resident wellness. Our program understands that our residents have personal lives outside of the hospital and we appreciate them for their daily hard work and effort. The resident wellness committee is a resident run group that serves to address issues related to burn-out as well as to provide fun and enjoyable events for residents and their families.

The monthly Radiology Wellness newsletter discusses tips for staying healthy, shares pictures from recent outings and highlights upcoming events.
