From the Director
Happy Monday! Excited that the submission phase of fellowship applications is almost done for all of you applying – looking forward to the interviews rolling in. We also start the intern meetings with Dr Butterly and me – a good way to check in and follow up on all the things from orientation that seem long ago and far away.
