Crossover Day

Crossover Day is a cherished annual tradition that marks the transition of academic years for our residency program. It’s designed to foster connection and camaraderie by bringing together incoming and current residents in a welcoming and engaging environment.

Held on the beach beside the clear waters of Lake Michigan, the day begins with wilderness medicine activities, encouraging teamwork and creative problem-solving in outdoor scenarios. In the afternoon, participants take part in games and exercises focused on communication, trust-building, and collaboration.

These shared experiences help lay the foundation for strong interpersonal relationships and a supportive learning community – connections that often extend well beyond the residency year and help shape professional collaboration and personal growth.
