From the Director
The pace has not slowed down! Interns and SARs, if you have not signed up for your end of year meetings with me or Dr Hargett, please reach out to Bridget and sign up now! JARs, we will meet with you over the summer.
ERAS opens shortly for those applying to fellowship, so please pay attention to those dates and send your letter of recommendation requests when they become available. If you are graduating, it is time to make sure your view alerts at the VA are all cleared out, your in basket is tidied up and that all of those modules are completed before you go. We are excited to celebrate our SARs and to hear from our chiefs at Grand Rounds, two of the best end of year traditions. We know it has been super active on the assist list and many many thanks to all for your help.
This past week we had a highly competitive Housestaff vs Faculty Basketball Game in our new location … Card Gym. Congrats to the faculty on the 3 point victory and to all who competed. ACLT had strong advocacy efforts on behalf of our patients and our three Califf award winners (Sukrit Jain, Aaditya Khatri and Audrey Zhang) were outstanding presenting their work at Grand Rounds. Also kudos to our poster winners Michelle Ferreira, Colin Smith and JT Tanaka! Don’t forget to view all the posters in our online gallery CLICK HERE. And huge thanks to the Pickett Road faculty for continuing the tradition of a Pickett SAR night!
