From the Director
We’re crushing FUN-bruary! Don’t forget to stop by the Med Res Office to pick up some treats and a message from your advisor! Drs. Duffy and Buck (with faculty judges Drs. Criscione Schreiber and Spector) helped us eat well with their baked goods and the Coaching Program delivered some great chocolates as well. Many of you seem partial to Fun-Dip for those middle school flashback vibes. And an unexpected FUN-bruary treat was having Amanda Broderick on NPR! Can’t find a link, but here it is in msn! https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/other/what-is-foreign-accent-syndrome-us-man-develops-irish-accent/ar-AA17BSlb
Please don’t forget to fill out your ACGME survey! Emily will be sending reminders to those who have not cleared the list. We are pleased to have received continued accreditation with commendation from the ACGME for our program’s work last year, based on notification received Friday!
Looking forward to seeing the next +2 group on Tuesday at our (no porch yet, but progress) home. This week at the QI noon conference (Wed) we will be discussing peer evals and more.
