From the Director
Big week this week! We have the Intern Retreat on Thursday, the ITE continues and our SARs are racking up in the interviews! Plus the students are starting their clerkships! Dr. Butterly and I have met with almost all of the interns and it will be starting to be time for JARs and SARs to check in with their advisors for their fall check in meetings. Please always reach out to us with any questions or concerns.
Countdown to the Stead Tread continues as well! We are excited to have the BEST YEAR EVER and hope to see you there, whether you are running, walking or cheering people on.
Congratulations to VA CRQS Alum Fam Michael and Allison Burt on the birth of Lilliana! All are doing well.
