From the Director
General snowmageddon 2022 survived! The days are incrementally getting longer, so we are moving towards earlier sunrises and later sunsets. Thanks to all for continued teamwork during a challenging winter. This week, we have a great LEADs for today, a town hall tomorrow and a sure to be stellar Cohen Conference, ending the week with IM Res alums Dr. Becca Lumsden and Titus Ng’eno leading Grand Rounds!
Applying for fellowship in this upcoming cycle? Mark your calendars for either FEB 1 or FEB 15 at 7 pm for the “Fellowship Timeline and Planning” meeting with Dr. Hargett and me. We will plan on zoom and will be recording the event if your schedule keeps you from making one of the two sessions (same info at each).
