IM Residency

From the Director

Welcome back from the Thanksgiving weekend! Turkey Bowl was another one for the record books – great play by both the Marines and the Jets, outstanding cheering sections of family, friends, program grads, faculty and co-residents and overall injury free! Thanks to our coaches Dr G. and Dr. Davy for some masterful gameplans and to our refs Dr. Cohen, Dr. Patel, Dr. Gutierrez, Mr. Dr. Wegermann, and Mr. Dr. Zaas.  Looking forward already to next year, which Dr. Cohen tells me is the official 50th ANNIVERSARY TURKEY BOWL!!  Talk about tradition!
