Life Outside Residency

At Georgetown Peds, we want to make sure that residents are enjoying their hours away from work as well. As residents, we are happier and better doctors when we have a good balance between our personal lives and our work lives. Here you’ll find fun things to do around D.C. to help you take advantage of every moment you’re not on C5. Please contact the Chiefs with suggestions so we can make this site as helpful as possible.
