Welcome

ongratulations on matching at UTMB in beautiful Galveston, Texas! It is my pleasure to extend a warm welcome on behalf of the Resiterns community.

Resiterns started at UTMB in 1959 and exists to offer support for interns, residents, fellows, their spouses/significant others and families throughout their years of training at UTMB. Resiterns is a diverse community of people who are very familiar with the challenges associated with graduate medical training, moving to a new city, and starting a new life!

Whether you are interested in opportunities to meet people from other specialties, need recommendations on Galveston restaurants, or just want to meet people who understand the difficulties of medical training, Resiterns has something for you!

Our goal for the coming year is to continue to grow and include an even wider variety of activities for our members. Single, married, kids/no kids, you will form relationships, learn more about life on the island, and find support from Resiterns!

Throughout the year, there are so many ways for you to get involved. You are welcome to participate in Resiterns social and service events planned for singles, couples, and families, including happy hours, holiday parties, play-dates, resident/fellow nights out, spouse/significant other events, community service projects, and visits to local attractions.

The best part of Resiterns is the relationships you form in your new “home”. This is a busy and challenging time, but I hope you will consider being a part of Resiterns!

Feel free to contact me at the email address below if you have questions.

We look forward to meeting you!

Galveston Island was raised 17 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 1920s to the 1930s found Galveston as a leading gambling resort where Hollywood celebrities were given top billing at clubs such as the historic Balinese Room.

Galveston exploited the prohibition of liquor and condoned prostitution, becoming known as the Sin City of the Gulf. During WWII, the island was the home of an airbase and a POW camp located on the West End. In 2008 the Galveston National Laboratory (GNL) opened, one of only two labs with Biosafety Level 4 (BSL4) capabilities located on a U.S. or quickly.

Ever resilient, Galveston rebuilt after Hurricane Ike’s destruction.

In 1836, Canadian fur trader Michael B. Menard purchased seven square miles of land, which we now know as the City of Galveston. By the later part of the 19th century, Galveston was considered the financial and cultural center of Texas.

Advice from People who Get It

ntern year, residency, and fellowship are exciting times in your medical training journey, but they can also be stressful years for both the physicians and their families. We asked our Resiterns members what advice they would give to incoming interns, residents, fellows, and their significant others. Here is what they said:

circle. Don't base your life solely on your significant other's schedule.”

“Meet and get to know as many people as possible within the program. Not just for professional purposes but to keep your life as normal as possible when moving to a new place. There are many people that are doing the same and also going through the same fears/growing pains you are”.

“One thing that has helped me as a non-physician spouse is realizing that this time they’re in residency is finite. Even though they are super busy, super stressed, and super tired all the time, this is just a phase of life that will be a little harder for both of you. It will come to an end and things will be less stressful/intense in the future after training! This is just a phase of life where you may have to give more support so you both can get through it.”

“When your spouse has time off from work, make it a priority to spend that time with them. It is so rare and residency is taxing on both. So make an intentional effort to still ‘date’. Also - if you have children, put yourself out there and find other parent friends. Let others “Get to know people in other departments that you help you!” consult with, try to make friends with someone who is a UTMB medical student because they have a lot of “If you even suspect that you are starting to struggle, reach out for help right away, be it from your program insights, join Resiterns!” director, a therapist, a spiritual advisor, or another “It will come to you eventually, so don’t be worried mentor. These years can be incredibly stressful, but if or get panicked. Work at your pace and get seniors' you feel your best, you will be able to do your best, both advice. You will get it for sure. Best of luck!” at work and at home.”

“HEB has a fantastic wine selection!”

“Join Resiterns! This group has made me feel so comfortable being in a new city and getting to know “Don't let early morning rounds be an excuse to skip the lay of the land as well as the other members of hanging out with your friends or co-residents. Even the UTMB community.” going out for an hour before going home will do wonders for your psyche”.

“Don't be afraid to ask for help. We have such a vast range of people that come from different “Get involved and get to know others to develop your backgrounds that are more than willing to go the own sense of community. It is very helpful to have extra mile. Whether it's golf lessons, cupcakes, or a friends to support and walk with you throughout your residency journey. This is true for spouses, children, and good bread rrecipe, we've got you covered.” residents. Being a part of Resiterns has been great for “Resident Significant Other burnout is very real. Make my husband and me because it gives us a chance sure to take care of yourself first. It's important to to get to know others going through the same thing we have your own hobbies, self-care routines, and social are and also people to have a great time with!”

Hurricane

DANGEROUS WEATHER AHEAD

Preparedness

Hurricanes are a part of life on the Gulf Coast. Hurricane season for the Atlantic, Caribbean, and the Gulf of Mexico is June 1-November 30. Below are some general tips for preparing for Hurricane season in the Galveston area.

BEFORE HURRICANE SEASON: PREPARE AN EMERGENCY KIT THAT INCLUDES: • Non-perishable food items and bottled water • Food, water, and medications for pets • Flashlights and batteries • Current insurance policies • Stocked first-aid kit • Important papers and documents that are stored in a portable, waterproof container • Printed list of emergency contacts

DURING A HURRICANE: • Listen to the radio or TV for information.

• Secure your home, close storm shutters, and secure outdoor objects or bring them inside.

• Turn off utilities if instructed to do so. Otherwise, turn the refrigerator thermostat to its coldest setting and keep its doors closed.

• Turn off propane tanks.

• Charge all cellular phones and use them sparingly to save the battery in case of power outages.

• Ensure a supply of water for sanitary purposes such as cleaning and flushing toilets. Fill the bathtub and/ or other large containers with water.

• Notify friends and family outside the area of your plans.

YOU SHOULD EVACUATE UNDER THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS: • If you are directed by local authorities to do so.

Be sure to follow their instructions.

• Have an evacuation plan for you and your pets in place.

• Make plans to secure your property. If you do not have permanent storm shutters, you can board up windows with 5/8” marine plywood.

• Fasten your roof to the frame structure.

• Trim trees and shrubs around your home.

• Clear loose and clogged rain gutters and downspouts.

• Stock your home with any essential household items, as the supply chain may be interrupted before or after a storm.

• Keep your car in good working order. If a storm is approaching, make sure you have a full tank of gas.

• If you live in a high-rise building.

• If you live on the coast, on a floodplain, near a river, or on an inland waterway, or feel you are in danger.

IF YOU ARE NOT ORDERED TO EVACUATE OR ARE UNABLE TO EVACUATE, GO TO A WIND-SAFE ROOM. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE ONE, FOLLOW THESE GUIDELINES: • Stay indoors during the hurricane and away from windows and glass doors.

• Close all interior doors. Secure and brace external doors.

• Keep curtains and blinds closed.

• Do not be fooled if there is a lull; it could be the eye of the storm. Winds will pick up again.

• Take refuge in a small interior room, closet, or hallway on the lowest level.

• Lie on the floor under a table or another sturdy object.
