Well-Being and Diversity

At Adventist Health White Memorial, we understand that physicians who care for themselves are more prepared to care for their patients. Our residency programs require commitment — but we understand that residents are people, too, and need time off, rest and a sense of community. To that end, we provide a range of resources to promote physician well-being and prevent burnout.

Sick Days and Time Off

Additionally, each resident has an annual allotment of sick days. These days are available to help residents prevent burnout and care for their mental and physical health. Residency program coordinators can provide more information about how to request days off.
