The 2022 Thank a Resident Day will be Friday, Feb. 25!
More than 450 institutions will be participating in this special annual day to celebrate resident physicians and fellows. Follow along the festivities through this collection of tweets or follow the Gold Foundation on Twitter or Instagram.
Residency is a key component of graduate medical training, offering an in-depth exposure to medical practice. It can often lead to long working hours matched with many responsibilities. Residents serve as the “house staff” of the hospital and are an integral part to the healthcare team, often serving as indispensable resources for medical students, especially during a clinical clerkship. In 2018, the Gold Humanism Honor Society decided to bring to light the importance of the residence staff and encourage medical students at chapters throughout the nation to show their gratitude and appreciation. Thank a Resident Day has since expanded to hundreds of institutions around the country.
