Share Thank a Resident Day photos

More than 1,000 residency sites will be participating in Thank a Resident Day! We are thrilled that so many resident physicians and fellows will be thanked, celebrated, and appreciated.

We invite you to share photos of your residents and Thank a Resident Day activities with the Gold Foundation. You can add them to the 2025 Thank a Resident Day gallery, which the Gold Foundation will draw from to share on our social media and other channels.

By uploading your photos, you are

  • confirming that everyone in the photo has given you permission to share their image with the Gold Foundation and publicly.
  • giving the Gold Foundation permission to share the photos in the future on our website, email, social media, and other channels
  • confirming that there is no identifying patient information or other HIPAA-protected information in the photos.

Please RENAME your photos to include your institution and any other key information.

Renaming photos means you probably have to do it on a computer rather than a phone. If it is too much trouble, you can also email them from your phone to balcala@gold-foundation.org with identifying information. Please include your institution name, the group pictured (GI residents, etc.), the activity going on. If there are only a few people, please include their names, if possible (please triple-check spelling). We would love to spotlight your amazing residents and fellows!

Yes, I agree with all the above.

Rename your photos and then …

Upload to the 2025 Thank a Resident Day photo gallery.
