What’s more, there is no formalized assessment of skill built into graduate medical education in this country. It is easy to see the problems this could cause […]

February 1, 2019

I would like to welcome everyone to the new calendar year. I hope 2019 proves to be a prosperous, happy, successful and healthy year for all.

Director’s Reflections: One DOM, Multiple Campuses

August 31, 2018
