Each education session will have a small amount of pre-work to be reviewed the night before the session in preparation for the morning’s discussions.
Education sessions will be held on Monday and Tuesday. These sessions have been created to not only allow for learning, but also to encourage you to get to know your colleagues. You are expected to attend both sessions.
GME leaders and faculty look forward to engaging with you throughout the week!
