Here at UNC, we strive to train exceptional physicians in a culture of collegiality, support and collaboration. Our program takes a number of steps to provide our residents with support both inside and outside of the hospital. Senior residents get one month of dedicated time for research and non-clinical activities each year in addition to our innovative and beloved \u201cnightcation\u201d schedule, where residents work 7 contiguous nights and one clinic day during their 14-day night block, leaving several days free for scholarly activities, travel, and quality time with friends and family. Interns get one half-days during their elective blocks off for administrative time. Our X+X+Y schedule lends itself uniquely to having protected time off outside of the hospital and often provides everyone with two golden weekends every six weeks.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Inside the hospital, we feel passionately about supporting our residents in myriad ways to maintain a fun and rewarding work atmosphere and help prevent physician burnout.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
