From the Director
What a big week! Congratulations again to all of our residents who matched in fellowships this week. We are incredibly proud of you. We look forward to also celebrating those of you who are taking on jobs in hospital medicine and primary care as your plans for your first attending jobs fall into place. So many great teams are lucky to have you all.
Huge kudos to our entire STEAD TREAD TEAM. We raised more than $11,000 for the Lincoln Community Health Center. Special shoutout to the Division of Infectious Diseases for highest participation!
