From the Director
Greetings from the AAIM –For all those who celebrated, I hope you had a happy and meaningful Easter. It was great to see such an awesome crowd (and strong kid/family showing!) at the Duke UNC basketball game in historic Cameron Indoor! Great game, fantastic result, so much fun. Thank you again to Chief Lonnie for organizing, to Chief and Mrs Duffy for running the scoreboard, to James Helzberg for announcing and Komal Safdar for being the official photographer. Like Coach Scheyer, Coach Lonnie is now 2-0 vs that other shade of blue.
This week, a few things to pay attention to. ACGME survey has closed – with close to 90% participation rate by you all – THANK YOU! Results don’t come in for several months so will let you know when we do!
SARs, boards signup reminder before the price goes up.
Kudos
Kudos this week to Allison Taylor for a great SAR talk, to Katie Jordan for an awesome Cohen Conference, to Michael Dagher from Nicole Dussault for a fantastic 2 weeks on VA GM, to Jawan Abdulrahim and Cayla Pichan for visiting our GM team today and helping with a diagnosis, to Mark Brahier for getting a gold star from a patient, and to Nivita Sharma from Shannon Herndon for excellent work on DRH nights.
