Resident Activities

From improving patient care to education and wellness, our residents hone their leadership skills through a variety of activities and committees on local and national levels.

• American Airlines Center Representative
  

  Our association with Dallas Fire & Rescue enables volunteering at almost any event at the American Airlines Center, Dallas' premier sports and entertainment arena and home to the NBA's Dallas Mavericks and the NHL's Dallas Stars. 

  These activities are coordinated by the designated Chief and Resident Coordinator.
