Our medicine residents amaze me with their clinical excellence, composure, and compassion. They are vital members of our care teams.
Residents are typically with us for only a few years, but these past few years have been some of our busiest in terms of change. The residents were agile and responsive when we changed to a non-geography patient flow model last year. This model improves continuity of care for patients, but it can make the work more challenging for our teams at times.
We have been so impressed with everyone’s resilience and adaptiveness. We still have some work to do to solidify some of the processes associated with this change to non-geography, and the residents continue to share great ideas about how to improve this model and the interdisciplinary communication it requires.

After three years, most of our medicine residents will leave for new ventures. Many will go straight into clinical practice. Some will stay on to be our new chief residents. Others, such as those listed below, will go on to further specialty training. Regardless, I congratulate each and every one on their success.
