The Resident Spouse Alliance (RSA)
is based upon voluntary
participation and designed to meet the needs of the spouses during residency.
Membership is open to all spouses of residents. We also include the female
residents when they have time to come to any of the events!
While the group
goals can change from year to year, what seems to remain constant is a support
structure providing ways for spouses to connect and serve each other. Over the
years, people have initiated philanthropy, teaching opportunities, play groups
and a variety of social activities. We also try to keep people informed about
policies, responsibilities and activities connected with the program. This is
done largely through a list-serve and a monthly newsletter. The organization
continues to be strong as we get amazing residents each year married to amazing
people!
