New Hospitalists to Benefit from Teaching Program

Have you heard of "WIP"?
"WIP" stands for “Works in Progress”, part of a weekly Faculty/Fellow Development Series directed by Drs. Corrine Voils and David Edelman. The series content often covers educational topics but a special focus is the “Works in Progress”. In these sessions mentees present preliminary research findings, grant ideas, or perhaps a review of an abstract prior to submission to a meeting. They can receive feedback on presentation skills via a practice talk for a conference.
