We would like to thank the search committee and the advisory committee for their valued expertise and aid in selecting Dr. Chida as the best candidate.
We would also like to express our gratitude to Dr. Heather Sateia, who has graciously filled in as interim program director since Dr. Sanjay Desai stepped down to become chief academic officer for the American Medical Association last month. She will remain in the interim capacity over the next few weeks to develop a transition plan along with Dr. Chida.
Dr. Danelle Cayea, associate professor in the Division of Geriatric Medicine & Gerontology, will remain in her role as interim vice chair for education through the end of the academic year. We thank her for her leadership that has allowed for some much-needed consistency during this transition.
Please join me in welcoming Dr. Natasha Chida to her new role. We are confident the Osler Medical Residency will continue to thrive under her leadership, and we look forward to what the future will bring.
