Happy New Year!

I hope everyone had a wonderful and restful holiday season. I'd like to wish you all a happy New Year.

We will soon begin our Principles of Family Medicine course with the R1s, and that is quite an undertaking with lots of FM faculty time committed to our new class. It's one of our favorite times of the year, and we're all looking forward to it.

R1s who may have an interest in the Rural Training Track, please be aware of the following timeline: 1) overview session this month (see PFM schedule for exact date/time), 2) required declaration of interest due to me by 1/31, 3) site visit and interviews with RTT faculty in February, and finally 4) RTT residents selected by mid-March as we begin to work on 07-08 schedules.

We will be finishing up interviews this month for 2007 Match. It's been a very busy and successful season so far and I'm looking forward to moving into the next phase. I will post the dates and times for the Second Look and Rank Meeting here soon.

FMR mid-cycle review, as required by the RRC, will be near the end of this month. Many of the residents will be asked to participate and meet with our committee. Now, for current FM residents who've managed to read this far, first one of you to post a comment will receive a prize. Many thanks go out to Residency staff, particularly Becky, for the extensive preparation required for the mid-cycle review and which is now near completion.

Welcome back from the holidays everyone! It's going to be a busy month.

This has definitely been na excellent year. We've had an outstanding group of residents. I'm sure we all had a really great time together. I just hope that we can keep things getting better and better.
