Arrowhead Regional Medical Center (ARMC) recently recognized 182 resident physicians in celebration of “Thank a Resident Day.” ARMC residents are an integral part of the health care delivery team and serve as an indispensable resource for medical students. ARMC leadership, hospital staff, and medical students joined together for lunch on Feb. 21 to honor the dedication and hard work of residents.
ARMC (formerly SBCMC) has provided graduate medical education for more than seven decades. ARMC's residency programs emphasize a curriculum to ensure graduates are well-trained for the challenges in health care today. Faculty and residents work together to ensure patients’ needs are met in the physical, psychological and preventative aspects of care, while receiving a world-class educational experience.
As a comprehensive inpatient and outpatient health care facility, ARMC provides primary care, specialty care, trauma care and has the only regional burn center in four counties.
The Gold Humanism Society introduced the first “Thank a Resident Day” in 2018 as an opportunity to acknowledge the time that residents spend each day to provide compassionate patient care and to appreciate and value residents’ hard work and dedication. The official date of “Thank a Resident Day” was Feb. 28.
Arrowhead Regional Medical Center is a 456-bed university-affiliated teaching hospital licensed by the State of California Department of Public Health, operated by the County of San Bernardino, and governed by the Board of Supervisors.
