From the Director
What a great week!!! Fellowship match (so proud of y’all and so happy for you. Much hard work toward your outcomes – congratulations!) and a positively epic house staff holiday party featuring a standing ovation requiring chief performance. Thank you so much to the Dept of Medicine for the party and to Jessica Nipper and Julia Walker for your amazing work putting it together. Don’t worry, Lonnie, Sara, Nathaniel and Ryan – we’ve got video evidence.
