Complete your rotation and peer-to-peer evaluation! Otherwise you may find out that Dr. Warm has particular set of skills, skills he has acquired over a very long career. Skills that make him a nightmare for people who don't complete evals. If you do your evaluations now, that'll be the end of it. He will not look for you, he will not pursue you. But if you don't, he will look for you, he will find you, and he will make you complete the evaluations.

Please remember: if you are scheduled for noon report on a Friday, this is a split intern and senior report. This means that both members of the team need to be ready to present the case and learning points. Intern NR is in the noon report room, senior noon report is in the GI work room

The next Medical Education Pathway meeting is this upcoming Monday, August 27th from 12:00-1:30 in Mark Brown Library. The topic is Assessment and being led by Dr. Warm!

Please get your golden requests in for November and December! Deadline for submission is September 1st

Long Blockers, couple of things to be aware of:
