From the Director
Wow! Another successful Trivia Bowl! Huge thanks to our Rock star Chief Residents for making it happen. Congrats to the residents for keeping the winning streak alive and thank you to the chiefs for including old school Duke and Duke basketball trivia to keep the faculty in the game.
This is the last week before match week! That is certainly hard to believe. We’ll be getting ready for the other big happening in March (Let’s go March Madness, the most wonderful time of the year…) as well. Keep an eye out to enter the MedRes brackets when available.
What else is happening? It’s advisor meeting season so please be on the lookout for an email from Tia or Emily to set up your meeting. Also this week starts the ACGME survey. Please be on the lookout for your email with your link to the survey. Any questions, just ask!
