Mission Statement

“We advocate for ourselves and each other.” 

Mission

Our mission is to support the development of all residency program coordinators in the areas of professional development, residency education development, emotional and physical well-being, advocacy, and work-life balance. Our objective is to equip ourselves and each other with the necessary tools for productivity and positive morale. We believe that our objective makes working within the mission, vision, and values of SUNY Downstate a pleasant framework where we are able to speak a unifying language of success and manage each other up whenever we speak with or reference each other.
