Resident Life

A Community of Care

Our residency program is committed to providing an inclusive environment for our patients, our students, our residents, and our faculty. 

Advocacy 

Residents are encouraged to become involved in advocacy on the local, state, and national level.  Each year the residents elect an Advocacy and Community Outreach Chair who helps the program organize educational activities and projects related to improving health equity in our community and region. Our residents are actively involved in:

  • Local Community Outreach Projects
  • U of L House Staff Council
  • ACOG KY Section Junior Fellow Officer Positions
  • Annual Kentucky State Lobby Day 
  • Kentucky Perinatal Health Collaborative
  • ACOG Congressional Leadership Conference in Washington DC

RopesCourseHealth & Wellness

We are committed to supporting the health and wellness of our resident family.  We have had an integrated wellness curriculum since 2016 and each year the residents elect a Wellness Chair to help organize group wellness activities.

Residents also have access to free and confidential counseling services through the University of Louisville School of Medicine Employee Assistance Program. Available services include individual, couples and family, group counseling, consultation, programming and emergency intervention.
