Resident Life
The University of Rochester's Plastic Surgery Residents have a strong camaraderie amongst themselves and with the faculty. Numerous off-site activities contribute to establishing and strengthening of friendships, and ultimately lead to the creation of a strong team. Because of this, the residents are well-rounded and better able to deal with the stress that they face in their professional life.
The department acknowledges the importance of leading a healthy balanced life. In addition to providing a professionally challenging curriculum, many social and recreational activities are planned throughout the year, including a(n):
- Intern Welcoming Picnic
- Summer Outing
- Resident Retreat
- Department Holiday Party
- Match Day Party
- Annual Roast
- Graduation Dinner
What our residents say...
"I love living within a short drive from mountains, gorges, waterfalls, beaches, dozens of state and federal parks, as well as the Canada border. I enjoy the summer-long festivals, concerts, and the downtown arts district. I also like the varied restaurants, public libraries, and the Erie Canal trail. Rochester really has something for everyone."
