From the Director
Greetings from the AAIM – the PD, clerkship director, chief resident and program administrator meeting in Austin! Great to learn and connect with all our IM fam from around the country. And breakfast tacos.
This week, a few things to pay attention to. It’s the final week to complete your ACGME Resident Survey if you have not already done so. Let’s try for 100% participation! We end the week with Duke IM Res vs UNC IM Res in CAMERON INDOOR STADIUM on Friday! Let’s go!!!! It may be the end of College BB for awhile, but we are not done yet!
SARs, the deadline for ABIM (“the boards”) registration is April 15th before the fee rises. Registration closes April 28th. Please let me know if you have any questions about registration or if you want to discuss your study plan.
Big thank you to Belim Senman for organizing a hemodynamics workshop for fellows and residents. Word on the wards is that it was AWESOME.
