Intern Superlatives

At our monthly Green Day (!) meeting, our new CARS - Kate O'Neill, Lindsay Reed and Brooke Winner - unveiled some new initiatives for the upcoming year. Highlights included restructuring the night float rotations as well as revamping the Holiday schedule. The new Holiday schedule will allow residents to have more autonomy in choosing their vacations and potentially allow them to have more during their 3rd and 4th years.

Of course, the pinnacle of the hour was awarding Intern Superlatives to the "Soon to be finished" R1 class.


Big shout out to all the interns! And a big shout out to the wonderful attendance!


Natalia will certainly head home and tweet/blog/facebook this before she even sits down to eat.


Exactly.


Hopeman, we don't want you to quit your day job. You can moonlight as a reader.



Shout out to JG!

Thanks to all the residents for their hardwork.

Sorry for not posting recently but that is because I have been hard at work. Do you hear me employer? Hard at work!
