Recruiting Season nears the end!

We are near the end of our Recruiting Season for 2007! We have 3 interviews left next week, and it's a wrap. We are all looking forward to the Rank Meeting, and then we will just be awaiting the Match results.

I believe it's going to be a really, really good year for us. We have been extremely pleased with the quality of the applications we've received and can't wait to see who will join us next June.

In other news, we finished our RRC mid-cycle (internal) review today and all appears to have gone well.

The Principles of FM course is going smoothly and the R1s are enjoying that. I hear the ROPES course was a highlight again this year. Waiting on photos, so will post some here when they are available. I will be doing a Billing & Coding workshop as part of PFM next week and I've been working on that. I think it's going to be a lot of fun. Roberto told me today that it better be, because they have evaluation forms!

The residents have just asked me to do a GYN procedures workshop in March, so that will be coming up. We'll be doing EMBs and IUDs.

Angela P. heard recently that she was accepted for the Emergency Medicine residency (seeking dual certification in FM/EM). Two of the R3s have job offers that look good and like they are going to work out. Everyone else is still considering their options, most haven't narrowed it down sufficiently yet to comment!

It's cold and wet in Galveston right now, so I'm sorry for our recent applicants that you didn't get to see our normally easy to tolerate sub-tropical winter. I'm ready for spring, myself.

Best of luck to all our applicants in the upcoming Match.
