From the Director
Big week coming up with resident research day on Friday! Come out to support your colleagues as they present their posters and at Grand Rounds! And of course Friday night is the Faculty vs Residents bball game in Cameron! Daniel Travis has the winning email right now, let’s see if the residents can keep up their winning streak on the court as well. Rumor has it that the faculty have drafted Ryan Young. Also, practice interview overview on Friday at noon conference!
