Internal Medicine Residency News, Sept. 4, 2018

From the Director

Happy September! Can you believe ERAS opens at the end of next week? (I can’t!).  Looking forward to another fantastic recruiting season. 

Don’t forget to sign up for the Stead Tread on Sept. 29! You can run, you can jog, you can walk…but come out and support a great cause. Learn more.

Other upcoming events include the “Meet Dr. Cooney” happy hour at Ponysaurus on Wed., Sept. 12.  And don’t forget to send Ernest a CONGRATULATIONS on his wedding!

Kudos

Kudos this week go to Chester Kao for rock-star like work on VA GM from Qasim Husseini, to Jordan Gales for above and beyond work as the DRH Dayfloat (taking care of DC summaries!) from Winn Seay, to Mike Dorry and Godefroy Chery from Juliette Logan for helping out in the Duke MICU, to Mike Murn and Steph Garbarino for fantastic learning summary emails, to Akash Goyal for a phenomenal chair’s conference, and to Adrian Randall from the PRIME team for stepping up and covering on Friday.

CONGRATULATIONS to Kent Feng and Irena Tan on their engagement! We are so happy for you!
