Building Bonds
Intern Retreat
This three-day and two-night retreat is each September of the intern year. Attendings and upper-level residents cover services in the hospital, and the interns are allowed to escape for a memorable 48 hours! The days are filled with team-building events, activities directed at getting to know each other both personally and professionally, and free time to unwind and have fun. For the past several years this event has been at a local 4H center in the foothills of the scenic Ouachita Mountains.
