“This is an exciting and anticipatory time for residents and fellows – those entering and those leaving our institution. Throughout this very busy season, we are all always reminded of and focused on our goal: to ensure that every GME trainee in this institution receives the best possible education and is exceptionally well-prepared for all subsequent professional steps,” said Donald Girard, MD, Associate Dean for Graduate Medical Education. “We really live by that.”
