From Program Director Frank Hoeffner:
3/26/2020
“It’s the choices we make in times of adversity that will define us. Our Residency Program faced some tough decisions this past week. Suspending the program was an option, however in a meeting of residents and mentors the unanimous decision was made to carry on with our program. We will leverage technology and continue with Grand Rounds, Journal Club, and Didactic education utilizing virtual platforms. I’ve never been prouder to be a part of this group and watch them rise to the challenge. This is how you build leaders.”
All interviews will be conducted via video conferencing systems.
