Residency orientation is over!
Congratulations to those of you who made it through orientation! You’ve armed your interns with most of the information they need to know to make it though their residency. Still … it’s often up to the coordinator to continue helping them transition. I’ve heard of several things coordinators do to help them adjust. If you’re considering taking a new resident under your wing, try some of these ideas:
- Give interns the low down on the best—and cheapest— eats in town
- If you have children, compare notes with your residents who also have children about the best spots for play dates, birthday parties, and pediatricians
- Organize offsite social activities to help residents bond with one another
One coordinator I’ve spoken to goes as far as giving advice—when asked—about car buying and parenting, attending condominium closings, and even had residents over for Christmas dinner. Although not everyone will be comfortable with that, it would build a great bond…
