Internal Medicine Residency News, Jan 31st 2022

From the Director

One more day til FUN-bruary! Let’s go! Fun-bruary kicks off with the Lunar New Year – happy Lunar New Year to all those who celebrate. Thanks ResCo, Chiefs, and the GME team for thinking about the many fun things we can do during the month. Be on the lookout for the HYPE calendar. 

Feb 1 is also our first of the two (same content) applying to fellowship meetings at 7pm on zoom. If you are planning to apply for the July 2022 cycle (i.e. rising SARs, current SARs who are taking one year positions, ABIM pathway rising JARs, R38/MLPR rising 4th years) … join Dr Hargett and I for a “nuts and bolts of the application process” discussion. This will repeat on Feb 15th if you can’t make it. Bridget has reached out for you to sign up for your 1:1 meetings as well – this is where we discuss your goals, where you want to apply, your letter writers, etc.  Looking forward to meeting with you.
