If you are on Neuro, UH/VA Wards (any call), consults (including those with afternoon rounds), or any other rotation then you are excused from clinical duties on Thursdays from 1 - 3:30 PM in order attend AHD. If you have any problem getting to AHD or being excused, please let one of the chiefs know so that we can help out
