Residency is a challenging time that demands a lot physically and mentally. Maintaining good health can help you perform at your best, stay focused, and reduce the risk of burnout. As a healthcare provider, you are responsible for providing the best possible care for your patients and good health can help you make sound clinical decisions, communicate effectively with patients, and provide compassionate care.
