From the Director
Glad you all liked the April Fool’s joke, some more than others!
As far as program things, this week we have some excellent noon conferences and reports. Be on the lookout for signups for (seriously!) end of year meetings with either Dr. Hargett or me. We will start the meetings in May so that we can get everyone in by the end of June! SARs, please make sure you are signing up for the ABIM Boards exam. For those applying for fellowship in this cycle, the ERAS dates were released (ERAS will open for purchasing tokens and getting started on your application on JUNE 9, and you can start sending applications to programs on JULY 7.)
We had a great discussion with Dr. Dale Okorodudu and the UNC and Wake IM Residencies on the "Black Men in White Coats" movie. Many thanks to Marius Chukwurah and Lonnie Sullivan for serving as panelists.
