Positivity Box Lives On!
Those familiar with the UTMB Department of Dermatology are aware that at the end of journal club every Friday, the Positivity Box is opened and anonymous positive comments about resident and faculty teamwork and individual accomplishments are read to the entire group and followed by applause. This activity was developed and maintained by one of our PGY4 residents, Dr. Skyler Maher, when she first started dermatology residency. It is a unique aspect of our UTMB Dermatology department wellness. Dr. Maher will soon join a private dermatology practice in Denton, Texas, but the Positivity Box will live on under the direction of Dr. Seena Monjazeb, our next Chief Dermatology Resident for Conferences for the 2020-2021 academic year. Anonymous positive comments may be made in the departmental mailroom Positivity Box or online.
