Resident Life
Residency is about more than clinical training—it's about finding your community. At UTHS Psychiatry, residents support one another through the challenges and successes of training while enjoying everything Memphis has to offer, from local events and great food to outdoor adventures and memorable experiences with friends and colleagues.
Life Beyond the Hospital
Psychiatry residency at UTHS is about more than clinical training. Our residents build lasting friendships, celebrate milestones together, and take advantage of all that Memphis has to offer. Whether gathering for social events, exploring local attractions, or supporting one another through residency, our program fosters a strong sense of community and belonging.
A Supportive Resident Community
From orientation activities to resident socials and holiday gatherings, our residents enjoy opportunities to connect outside of the clinical environment. These shared experiences help strengthen teamwork, promote wellness, and create a supportive network that lasts throughout residency and beyond.
Exploring Memphis Together
Memphis offers an incredible mix of culture, entertainment, food, and outdoor recreation. Residents can be found enjoying local festivals, cheering on the Memphis Grizzlies, exploring the city's neighborhoods, and discovering some of the best barbecue and live music in the country. The city's affordability and vibrant atmosphere make it an ideal place to live and train.
Wellness and Work-Life Balance
We believe that resident well-being is essential to professional growth and success. Throughout the year, residents participate in wellness activities, community outings, and informal gatherings that encourage balance, connection, and self-care. These opportunities help residents recharge while building meaningful relationships with colleagues.
Adventure and the Outdoors
Memphis offers plenty of opportunities to stay active and enjoy the outdoors. Residents take advantage of local bike trails, parks, walking paths, and nearby outdoor destinations for hiking, kayaking, and weekend adventures. Whether spending time on the riverfront or exploring Tennessee's natural beauty, there are countless ways to unwind outside of work.
Celebrating Life's Moments
Residency is filled with important milestones, and our program celebrates them together. From graduation and awards ceremonies to family-friendly events and resident achievements, we take pride in recognizing the accomplishments and personal moments that make our community special.
