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)
- Diversity and Inclusion
- 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.

Diversity
The department of Internal Medicine aims to increase the supply of physicians serving the state, improve the health of eastern North Carolina’s citizens and provide our resident physicians with the knowledge, skills, and values to succeed in a global, multicultural health care system and society. We are committed to social justice and therefore, we embrace a climate of diversity and inclusion. We welcome differences in age, sex and gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, race, ethnicity, indigenous background, culture, national origin, language, religion, spiritual orientation, ability status, social class, education, veteran status, political persuasion, professional interests, and other cultural and professional dimensions. We are committed to recruiting and developing a diverse group of residents and physician leaders in Internal Medicine to meet the future needs of our patients.
Opportunities:
- GME Diversity Committee – an ECU/BSOM resident committee that works on programming and activities for diversity and inclusion for all residents of ECU/Vidant

Global Health
