A special evening “retreat” for all of the Clinical Fellows in the Department of Medicine has been scheduled for this August.
The goal is to introduce our fellows—current and new—to all of the academic opportunities we offer and to give them insight regarding how to pursue an investigative career.
Three Pulmonary & Critical Care fellows learned Wednesday they earned the University of Arizona and Division of Pulmonary, Allergy, Critical Care and Sleep Medicine recognition by the American College of Chest Physicians as one of the “Top 3 Institutions” in the United States in the CHEST Challenge—an online medical knowledge competition that began this spring and closed May 30.
Twenty-five participants in the 2016 Research Academic Half-Day (AHD) poster competition for residents in the Internal Medicine Residency Program – Tucson Campus shared their work for viewing and judging on April 28 in DuVal Auditorium at Banner – University Medical Center Tucson.
A dozen graduating residents from the University of Arizona Internal Medicine Residency Program – South Campus were recognized Saturday, June 4, at a special dinner at Tucson’s Skyline Country Club. Several awards were also presented honoring those residents who excelled over the past year.
Sixty-five is the age when many people retire, kick back and take it easy. And so it often is with the human immune system.
It is that time of year when, across the country, we have the annual comings and goings of fellowship program members graduating from and starting their advanced medical training. Programs in the Department of Medicine are feeling the churn as well — with farewells to colleagues we’ve gotten to know and greetings to new physicians joining us — all in anticipation of great things to come.
