From the Director
It’s been a busy week and lots happening this week as well. Many thanks to all who helped us run a fun and successful and safe intern retreat on Thursday. The ITE seems to be going smoothly – please pay attention to your emails about when and where (JARS, SARs who selected to take the exam, and combined program folks). This week we have our GME Wide DEI First Look. Virtual event and the PWIM Faculty-Trainee outdoor mentoring event.
Congratulations to alum and Jets coach JD Davy and Alyssa Davy on the birth of Calvin! And belated congrats to Sebastian Estrada on his wedding!!
