On behalf of all the members of Resiterns, I would like to give you a big heartfelt welcome to Galveston Island. We know that moving to a new place to begin a residency, internship or fellowship can be a daunting task. Resiterns would like to help you make your transition as smooth as possible by helping acquaint you with your new community.

Resiterns is unique because we are all experiencing the same obstacles and trials and can find comfort and familiarity with one another.

This is a group where you can make life long friendships or just seek out advice and companionship while you are at UTMB. Our organization is passionate about making your transition as seemless as possible.

Resiterns is tailored to the residents/fellows and their families. We offer a variety of social opportunites to not only introduce you to each other but to show you around this beautiful island. Some of the greatest benefits I have seen this organization provide to our members is understanding, support and advice as difficulties arise in both private lives and career.

Whether its struggling transitioning from a first year resident to a second or becoming first time parents, there’s always a plethora of listening ears or advice from people who know exactly what you are going through.

The support and love our members provide to one another is truely invaluable.

Please reach out to me by email, text or phone call with any questions. Follow or add us on Facebook and Instagram at UTMB Resiterns so you can get to know us a little bit better.

Can’t wait to meet you!

WHAT IS RESITERNS?

RESITERNS IS A GROUP OF INTERNS, RESIDENTS, FELLOWS, & THEIR FAMILIES THAT PROVIDES SUPPORT FOR ONE ANOTHER THROUGH SOCIAL, SERVICE, AND COMMUNITY ACTIVITIES. READ ON FOR ALL THE DETAILS!

H

istory: Up to 1959, UTMB had no social

organization through which its house staff and their spouses could socialize. Recognizing the need for friendship and diversification while in Galveston, L’Nell Starkey initiated the formation of the group which was to become Resiterns.

Although the organization has changed somewhat from the small group which met in the student lounge of the Ashbel Smith Building in July 1959, its basic purpose is still the same: to offer a support group for interns, residents, fellows, their spouses/ significant others and their families throughout their years of training at UTMB.

involve the entire family. Members can choose to participate in select service opportunities throughout the year to serve the city of Galveston and patients at the hospitals.

Please contact Sarah Cegelski if you have any questions about becoming a member of Resiterns by phone at 281-224-8799 or by email at sarah.apffel@gmail.com

Dues: Annual dues are $50 per single member or couple and $75 per family

Care and Concern: The Care and Concern Membership: Membership is open to all interns, committee seeks to meet the emotional needs of residents, fellows, their spouses/significant others, and children. Former Resiterns members and faculty may join and receive the monthly newsletter.

During the year, members may take advantage of monthly social functions where dinner and drinks are usually provided, and babysitting is reimbursed! Resiterns also offers monthly play dates for those with children as well as events that

each Resiterns member. Whether it is an exciting event like the birth of a new baby, or a sad event like the death of a loved one or illness in the family, Resiterns provides support (gift cards, meals, etc). Whichever joy or sorrow a member may be experiencing; the Care and Concern chairperson is there to see them through it.

GALVESTON ISLAND: RICH IN HISTORY Galveston Island has a history that is both colorful and unique. It has been inhabited by Native Americans, exploring Spaniards, Mexican patriots and even Pirates. All inhabitants have contributed to the community that we know and love today as Galveston Island.

Right Top | The Galveston Historical Foundation is located in the historic 1940s Sears Roebucks building Right Bottom | The Bishop’s Palace is Galveston’s most ornate historical building. It is well worth the entrance fee.

The cannibalistic Karankawa Indians were Galveston’s original inhabitants, arriving in the area approximately 200 years ago. They were joined for a short period of time by the Spanish explorer, Cabeza de Vaca, and his crew when his expedition was shipwrecked on the island in 1528. Isla Malhold or “Isle of Doom” was the name given to Galveston by these Spanish explorers. From Galveston, de Vaca began his famous trek to Mexico.

In 1785, Spanish explorer Jose de Evia named the island “Galvez Town” after the Victory of Mexico, Count Bernard de Galvez. After the departure of the Spanish around 1816, the first permanent European settlements on the island were constructed by the pirate Louis- Michel Aury as a base of operations to support Mexico’s rebellion against Spain. In 1817, Aury returned from an unsuccessful raid against Spain to find Galveston occupied by the renowned pirate Jean Lafitte. Lafitte named the settlement “Campeche” and remained in Galveston until 1821 when he and his raiders were forced off the island by the U.S. Navy after they attacked a U.S. gunboat.

The years following the inhabitation of Jean Lafitte were years of growth and prosperity for Galveston.

During this time, Galveston’s natural facilities as a port were recognized and expanded upon.

By the later part of the 19th century, Galveston was considered the financial and cultural center of Texas.

The Strand, located in downtown Galveston, became known as the “Wall Street of the South.”

MAKING WAVES Much of Galveston’s history is shaped by her storms and the community resilience that follows.

PICTURED ABOVE Galveston Island is captured in a breathtaking fly-over view

The beginning of the 20th century brought with it two crippling blows to the thriving Galveston economy.

First, the hurricane of 1900 claimed the lives of over 6,000 island residents and is still acknowledged as the deadliest natural disaster to occur in the United States.

It was after this devastating storm that construction was begun on the Seawall and much of Galveston Island was raised 5-6 feet to protect Galveston from future hurricanes. The second economic blow was the creation of the Houston Ship Channel in 1914. As Houston and its import trade expanded, Galveston’s commercial prominence declined.

The glittering era of the 1920’s to the 1930’s found Galveston as a leading gambling resort where Hollywood celebrities were given top billing at clubs such as the historic Balinese Room. Also, during this time, Galveston exploited the prohibition of liquor and condoned prostitutioin becoming known as the sin city of the Gulf.

20

During WWII, the island was the home of an air base and a POW camp located in the West End. Galveston added another chapter to its rich history when Hurricane Ike made a direct hit on Galveston Island on September 13, 2008. Hurricane Ike brought with it a high storm surge that overtopped Galveston’s seawall and flooded the majority of the island.

Hurricane Ike was the third costliest Atlantic hurricane of all time. The storm also caused the largest evacuation of Texans in the state’s history and initiated the largest search and rescue operation in U.S. history.

Today, as Galveston continues to rebuild after Hurricane Ike’s destruction, it remains the home of the University of Texas Medical Branch, American National Insurance Company and a revived port. The island’s beaches, its interesting and colorful history and the restoration of many of the city’s original 19th century structures create a healthy tourist industry for Galveston.

HOW TO FIND A COMMUNITY

C

&MAKE NEW FRIENDS Written by Amy Rakowczyk

ongratulations on your match to UTMB

Galveston! Not only will you get quality

training at this residency program, you are also about to join a vibrant, fun, and supportive community. Galveston and South Houston are very welcoming with an array of activities, events, and businesses. Plus, you’ll be by the beach!

Going through residency is not about being “strong” and pushing through all the hard stuff.

The key to surviving is to create a sense of community for yourself and by having people to lean on when the going gets tough. That’s what UTMB Resiterns does for its residents and fellows!

Joining a new community and finding friends is not always an easy task. However, it is a necessary one! You will actively have to put yourself out there in order to meet new people. You can think of it as “shopping” for possible friends, by starting and holding conversations with complete strangers. It involves courage, commitment, and some small talk, but you can do it!

So, let’s get you pumped up to become part of our community! We are really nice people and we are so happy you’re here!

HERE ARE SOME TIPS TO HELP YOU START THIS PROCESS 25

TAKE ADVANTAGE OF NEWCOMER OFFERINGS

When you first begin residency, your program may hold gatherings with other residents and faculty. We highly recommend attending these events. In reality, newcomer socials whether program related or with Resiterns, are your best shot at meeting new people and starting some friendships.

Welcome events are awkward for everyone. It won’t just be you; you’ll be in good company!

The biggest thing to do is to bring your sense of humor and laugh off the weird moments.

Start by smiling, saying your name, and then embrace the small talk (what program are you in, where did you move from, etc). If you find someone you enjoy talking to, exchange numbers and make a plan to meet up again. Often people attend an event, but then don’t see the people again for a while so a friendship is hard to form. Be proactive and follow-up!

JOIN A GROUP

The second best way to get connected is by joining a group or program, such as Resiterns, a community group, or by setting up regular meet-ups with other people you meet.

What are you into? Whether it’s a church group, Crossfit gym, reading group, golfing club, or regular happy hour meet-ups, you’ll want to try to see people regularly in order to form friendships. You’ll be busy and won’t be able to attend everyth ing, but choosing one thing to commit to will really help you relax and maintain your work-life balance.

For parents, there are Mom’s/Dad’s groups such as MOPS, library activities like story time, playgroups, and experienced-based groups like HikeItBaby. Also search for “mom’s day out” programs, or classes through your local recreation center. Many Resiterns families connect through the schools their kids attend or through the local YMCA.

INVITE PEOPLE OVER FOR DINNER OR OUT ON THE TOWN

Are there people in your program that you think you might connect with? Invite them over for dinner or dessert! It doesn’t matter that you don’t know them that well. If hosting a meet up isn’t your thing, consider asking if they want to meet up for happy hour, coffee, or appetizers somewhere in town.

HOW TO START A CONVERSATION

PREPARE AHEAD

Who will you see and what might you ask them about? Will you mostly see other residents or some faculty too?

Consider what you already know about the people you might see and prepare questions to expand upon that.

Ex: You know you’ll see residents that matched into the same program as you, so you can ask an array of questions such as Where did you go to med school? or How do you feel about Galveston?

LISTEN FOR CLUES

If you ask, Have you lived here long? and they answer, No, I just moved here, you have several follow up questions available: Where did you move from? How do you like it here so far? Have you tried anything in town yet? I’m thinking of trying that restaurant on Seawall etc. You will either connect or not.

If not, that’s ok! It’s not a reflection upon you or the other person. It’s just not a match. Excuse yourself and move along.

YOU ARE INTERESTING AND SO ARE THEY!

When talking to new people, believe that what you have to say is important and people would want to hear you talk. Additionally, other people are interesting and you want to hear what they want to say.

You may learn something from them or really connect. We’re all just humans floating around on this orb in space. Let’s open up and experience this ride together!

27

REMEMBER

Most people are in the same boat as you.

Look at others as if they were you. Would you welcome someone acknowledging you and saying hello? I dare say that you would! A “hello” says a lot and most often, you’ll know pretty quickly whether that person is someone you jibe with.

So, get out there and open yourself up to the possibilities! You won’t sync with everyone you meet, but you will find at least one person who is a coffee-date match, and hopefully a potential, “Why did we think medicine was a good idea??” friend.

You can do this!

WHEN RESIDENCY BECOMES

TOO MUCH Finding your way in sleeplessness, isolation, and uncertainty

I will never forget the day my husband called me from his clerkship site in tears asking me to pick him up.

I found him standing on the side of the road, holding his head in his hands. The pressure, sleeplessness, inconsistent grading, and unrealistic expectations had all come to a head. We had a newborn and young toddler and our lives felt like they were falling apart. We both felt like it would be unwise for him to get help because we were afraid it would interfere with his interview chances. Because of this, the next years were awful and we both felt very alone in the medical process. It is no secret that things need to change with the training of physicians; UTMB is aware of this need. Below, I asked Dr. Blackwell to discuss some of what UTMB does to help physicians when residency becomes too much. -Anonymous Hi Dr. Blackwell, thank you for your time and care on this issue at UTMB. Can you start us out by giving some facts about Resident burnout and depression?

First, let me say that burnout and depression are not the same thing. Burnout is most common in the first 2 years of residency and the incidence ranges between 41-90% of residents. It’s pretty high. Burnout has to do with your job only.

Depression is much more global and happens to up to 40% of residents. Let’s use the example of going home to play with your

kids. When you’re depressed, you aren’t going to get all that much pleasure. When you’re burned out, you’re not enthusiastic or empathetic at your job, but when you get home, you feel great.

What role does UTMB play when a resident needs help with burnout?

There are 2 pieces of burnout: 1 is based on the individual’s level of resiliancy.

1/3 of burnout depends on the individual. The second piece has to do with the environment. This includes supportive faculty, not being overloaded, having a better work life balance, and being provided the

opportunity to build connections with other residents, which is where Resiterns comes in. 2/3 of burnout depends on the environment. UTMB attacks burnout from all aspects. We give the individual teaching and moduals to build resiliancy as well as provide an environment that will support the resident.

Is there an anonymous way for our residents to get help?

We have the Employee Assistance Program (EAP) at UTMB that is absolutely anonymous.

There is a special way for residents to get fast-

EAP | 844-872-5986 | https://hr.utmb.edu/eap/

33

tracked in the program.

We have no idea which residents go through EAP to get help. The only time we have known, and this has happened once, was when a resident was in danger of immenent suicide. In that case, the counselor must reach out.

We publish the EAP number and do everything we can to inform our residents about this program.

My husband, Will, works full time from home. The ENT program well. I’m not going to lie- one of the had a lot of residents with children great perks of Resiterns is getwhen I started, so it was great hav- ting some quality time with other adults while Resiterns writes a ing that second family and people check to help cover our babysitter. who could commiserate on the Those happy hours, dinners, and ups and downs of going through residency with a family. We joined other events have been such a great break from the day to day routine.

Resiterns my 2nd year of residenIt has also been great having guys’ cy and are so glad we did (and in night events where Will gets a hindsight should have done right off the bat)! Your co-residents and break from full time work and full time dad to just relax and go golftheir families will definitely being or grab a beer with some of the come like a second family for you, Resiterns guys. And of course, the but it is really nice having a group of people who know what it’s like kids events are always great. We dealing with residency, Galveston, can’t catch the daytime play dates with our work schedules, but there and kids, while giving a little bit are always plenty of weekend different perspective on things.

events aimed at the kids. One of our favorites is the annual Cookies with Santa event - this is really above and beyond (think homemade cocoa, gingerbread houses, and a fully suited Santa Claus ready to ask your kids what they want for Christmas). Smaller events like splash days are equally fun, and it’s so nice to have some time for our kids to run around and play with other little ones. Now that I am in my chief year and there aren’t other ENT residents with little kids, we’ve especially loved these events.

Aside from the social events, kid parties, and babysitting perks, Resiterns has offered us some of the more intangible benefits of being in a group.

When I was in my 4th year of residency we were blessed with twin baby boys (complete with high-risk pregnancy and bed-rest), I turned to the Resiterns crew immediately to find out things like which OB do you like best in the area? Who are some of the baby photographers you know? Which daycare do you use? How do you stay sane with more than one kid?

I was also rotating and living in Houston for 4 months during that first year of twin-dom, meaning Will was basically the sole parent

Monday-Friday (and many weekends) for our three kids. Our Resiterns connections were a godsend those 4 months, and one of our Resiterns friends became our go-to daddy’s helper (and is still our #1 babysitter!). I always know that if we need it, there’s a group of people I could call to help with things at work or at home (see- perks of knowing people in work environment and non-work environment!).

Now that we are finishing up our time in Galveston and getting ready to move on to the next

chapter (which happens to be Chicago for fellowship training) we’ve turned to our Resiterns friends once again for advice on things like where to send the kids to school, what neighborhoods to look at, and who did you use for moving help? Residency is an amazing time, but it is also crazy, hectic, and stressful. Knowing there is a group of people going through a similar experience that you can share some of that with makes the tougher times easier and the good times even sweeter.

“KNOWING THERE IS A GROUP OF PEOPLE GOING THROUGH A SIMILAR EXPERIENCE MAKES THE TOUGHER TIMES EASIER AND THE GOOD TIMES EVEN SWEETER.”

spread. We immediately sent out gift cards to all our members from local businesses that support Resiterns. Our annual events had to be canceled, postponed or reimagined for the safety of our members and families.

he past year has been challenging for everyone. Early on, the COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionately affected medical front line workers by putting them at high risk of exposure. Since in-person gatherings are our primary method of outreach, we have had to find creative solutions to operate outside our normal functions.

When cases started back in March 2020 and Resiterns members started to get pulled into COVID teams, Resiterns decided to suspend all plans for in-person activities and not contribute to the 57

58

Our events consisted of social zoom meetings, providing reimbursements for dinners, drinks, and even offering a cooking class! We hosted a virtual gingerbread decorating competition during the holidays and managed a white elephant gift exchange too. We enjoyed an outdoor movie night from our cars, a trip to a local outdoor zoo and more recently, an adults -only event at Top Golf! It has been an interesting and rewarding year adjusting to this new style of running Resiterns. We miss seeing everyone at our most

beloved events- the Holiday Party, Valentines Date Night, Ladies brunch, and welcoming new members at our Welcome to the Island event each summer.

Resiterns is a wonderful organization that reaches its full potential in close social gatherings where friends and connections can be made. As vaccination rates increase and Covid-19 cases in the community decline, we look forward to returning to normal and seeing you all in the upcoming 20212022 year!
