Residency Advocacy

Residency advocacy involves supporting and representing medical residents—doctors undergoing specialized training—by addressing their rights, working conditions, and educational needs. It aims to ensure residents receive fair treatment, adequate work hours, safe environments, and quality training experiences. Advocates work with institutions, policymakers, and stakeholders to improve policies, prevent burnout, and promote a healthy work-life balance. Essentially, residency advocacy seeks to protect residents’ well-being while fostering high standards of medical education and patient care.
