From the Director
Last week of recruitment! Ongoing thanks to everyone for their participation, from evening zooms to specialty group events to My Takes to emailing and talking with applicants regarding special interests or questions about Durham. It’s a true team effort and we appreciate you!
Thanks also to all who were able to participate in the Town Hall led by the chiefs this week. The Med Res team began discussion of the issues you all raised and will continue communication and work on these in the coming weeks and months. We will have a discussion of the upcoming ACGME survey on Friday at the noon conference slot.
Big congrats to Allison Taylor for winning the Trainee Award for Cancer Prevention and Control at the DCI Symposium http://dukecancerinstitute.org/news/dcis-9th-annual-scientific-retreat-learnings-was-infectious
