One of the best parts about our residency is how close our residents are. Activities are organized both by the department and by the residents. They include:
- Welcome happy hour for the new interns
- Resident recreational sports leagues – rotating sports throughout the year! They are open to residents and their significant others - Go Team Gang Green!
- I’s and O’s – a monthly happy hour
- Resident winter party
- House Staff Ball – a night to get dressed up and enjoy drinks and dancing with other RUSH residents
- Retreats – each class has their own all-day retreat with a social event afterwards. The second year class has an overnight retreat.
