Psychiatry Interest Group T1 Retreat

The T1 Psychiatry Interest Group Retreat is a social event designed to welcome first-year medical students who are interested in psychiatry and introduce them to the Psychiatry Interest Group (PsychIG). The event will give T1 students an opportunity to meet current PsychIG executive board members and other students who share an interest in psychiatry in a relaxed and welcoming environment.

The retreat will be held at The Fly in Audubon Park to provide an informal, off-campus setting where students can take a break from the medical school environment, socialize, and build connections with their peers. The main activities will focus on conversation, socializing, and getting to know one another, with opportunities for informal team-building and discussion about shared interests in psychiatry, wellness, and medical school.

PsychIG will use its approved MSG budget to provide pizza and refreshments for attendees. Overall, the goal of the retreat is to build community within PsychIG, help interested T1 students connect with current members and leadership, and provide a fun and supportive environment that encourages peer connection early in the academic year.
