Resident Council

Resident and Fellow Council is the connection between GME administration and our programs. Broad goals include breaking down silos between programs and establishing residents as leaders within ECU Health. We have been able to insert resident voices on multiple upper level committees:

  • GME-C
  • Med Exec
  • Hospital Patient Safety and Quality Improvement
  • IPAC (Inpatient Advisory Committee)
  • ECU Physicians High Value Care and Quality

Ongoing projects include the On Call Provider QI project as part of a larger project to improve communication around the institution, as well as trying to standardize protocol for calling out while on an off-service rotation.


Wellness Committee

Here at ECU, we believe wellness is a vital part of resident life. Outside of routinely spending time together, our program focuses on a wellness curriculum with guest lectures that focus on meditation, mindfulness, as well as other topics felt to be helpful to increase overall wellbeing. We also have a wellness committee run by residents that help plan wellness projects, wellness lectures, and initiatives to improve the lifestyle of our residents. Previous activities include

  • International potluck
  • Family dinner
  • Lakehouse retreat: Every year, residents enjoy a day of relaxation at the program director’s local lake house where they can partake in various water sports such as jet skiing, tubing, kayaking, and paddle boarding.
  • Pumpkin carving at Halloween
  • White Elephant Gift Exchange at Christmas
  • Valentine’s day celebration
  • The Guide & Greenville At A Glance (PDF)

ECU Health also provides employees with dedicated counseling and crisis resources, in addition to
financial, legal, and supervisory services.
