Life During Residency
Life During Residency
Life as a Neurology Resident at the University of Utah
Residency is about more than clinical training ...
It's about finding a community where you can learn, grow, and build lasting relationships.
At the University of Utah, our residents train in a nationally recognized academic medical center while enjoying a supportive culture that values mentorship, collegiality, wellness, and personal growth.
With eight residents per class, you'll quickly become part of a close-knit community. Residents work alongside faculty who are invested in their success, collaborate with colleagues who become lifelong friends, and enjoy opportunities to explore all that Salt Lake City and the Mountain West have to offer.
Whether in the hospital, on the trails, at a faculty-hosted gathering, or celebrating milestones together, our residents find that Utah feels like home.
"Everyone works hard, but there's a real, intentional emphasis on actually enjoying yourself — during work and outside of it."

Why Utah?
Life Beyond Residency - You can still live!
Neurology residency is a demanding and transformative experience, but it is also a season of life. At the University of Utah, our residents continue to pursue the things that matter most to them: celebrating weddings, growing their families, traveling, exploring the outdoors, building friendships, and creating memories throughout their residency training.
The photos below were all taken during residency and reflect the experiences that make our program special. Residents spend time together outside the hospital, enjoy the many recreational opportunities available in Utah, and celebrate important milestones with colleagues, friends, and family. We believe that supporting resident wellness, meaningful relationships, and life beyond clinical training helps create happier physicians, stronger teams, and a more fulfilling residency experience.
