There are two basic reasons to join Partners in Medicine (PIM):
What we can do for you and what you can do for us.
What we can do for you:
Every one knows that there are
difficulties associated with marriage,
otherwise you would not say "for better or for worse." There are also
numerous trials associated with being a Resident/Fellow Physician. It
is therefore no surprise that obstacles uniquely associated with being
the partner of a Resident Physician exist. As spouses we must learn to
deal with the amount of time residents spend in the hospital and away
from family all while in a new city far from friends, relatives and
even our own jobs. PIM is here to assist you with these difficulties.
PIM works to address the everyday challenges in these ways:
- We give you a group of people who are going through the same
things.
- We are able to empathize
like
no one else.
- We provide access to countless activities each
month that you can enjoy with little or no
cost.
- We provide activities to engage in while your partner is working.
- We are here as your
support group in the absence of old friends and family.
- We reach out to
all spouses in hopes that you will find life in Salt Lake memorable.
- We can help with moves, new babies, children, and networking to find a new job.
Every year a large group of PIM
members finish their Residency/Fellowship years and move out of Salt
Lake City. In order for the group to continue, we need new members each
year. Is there a
particular type of person we are looking for to join? The answer is NO.
We want every resident and any significant others to join despite where
you are from, your religion or your politics. We are looking for
partners with and without children, working and non-working spouses,
and most of
all husbands and wives. If you have any reservations about attending a
PIM event, please ignore them and give us a chance. If you find the
training years easy, you would make an excellent PIM member; join us
and give us hope and maybe a pointer or two. If you find these years
trying, you would make an excellent PIM member; join us and learn some
survival tips or create your own solutions and help those who come
after you!! To paraphrase Jerry McGuire, "help us, help you, help us,
help you."
