Internal Medicine Residency News, June 1, 2020

From the Director

It has been a hard week on top of a very challenging and devastating spring.  Thank you to all for taking time to think and commit to how we can do our parts to make our program a safe haven. There are many kudos this week of people going above and beyond to care for patients and to work as teams in busy and challenging floors, ICUs and clinics, just as you always seem to do regardless of what the circumstance. Thank you all for showing up and caring for our patients, their loved ones and each other.  

My best,
Aimee

Welcome back to DOC!
The regular schedule starts today, and we are so excited to have you all join us again!

Thank you for the awesome care of our patients by those of you who were here the past few months, as well as all the work you all did from home—calls, inbox, and more!

And sadly, also that time of year that we say goodbye to the SARs.

Thank you for your amazing work, and we will miss you!!

Lynn and Team
