Resident Life at Saint Francis

Residency training requires commitment and hard work to become an excellent physician. A balance between residency training and recreation is necessary to achieve the goal of being a balanced physician and person. Our hospital is 30 minutes from Philadelphia, which offers countless cultural escapes. The beautiful Delaware beaches are two hours away by car, and New York City a two-hour train ride.

Resident Retreats: Each fall and spring, residents and faculty plan an escape day. Whether it’s relaxing at the beach, ax throwing, pumpkin painting, laser tag, or enjoying some good food, it's a time for the residents to enjoy time together.

Wellness Lunches: Each quarter, residents take a break from Thursday didactics to enjoy a leisurely lunch together. Whether trying out a new local restaurant, or just relaxing in the sun with some takeout, theses lunches allow for a pleasant break from busy schedules!
