Pediatric Resident Life at the 91ɫƵ

We believe that it is imperative that residents have plenty of time to enjoy family, friends, and life outside the hospital, and it is important to us that our residents are as happy in the hospital as they are in their time off. Milwaukee is an exciting, beautiful, vibrant and diverse city that has much to offer no matter what your interests are. In addition, it is affordable and accessible, making its countless activities easy to enjoy. Many of our residents enjoy their time in Milwaukee so much they choose to call it home long after graduation. Vogue recently declared Milwaukee .

Halloween 2

In addition to loving all that Milwaukee has to offer, we also make sure to have fun while at work. Whether it's team color day every Thursday on our wards teams, the annual Halloween costume contest (that our residents frequently win), High Fashion Fridays, or a Wellness Olympics event, we bring the pediatrics spirit to all that we do!
