some updates

I read in this morning's paper that 125 faculty were laid off on Monday. The newspaper staff has filed an open records act request for the list of names. If they are able to obtain that and publish it, I'll post the link here. I know of a few individuals because I've needed to contact them since Monday, but will defer listing them for now in hopes that we can have a complete list and not just the ones I've stumbled across.

Curriculum update: our Cardiology rotation has been worked out. We'll be working on the Cardiology service at TDCJ. Procedure rotation is coming along. I'm waiting on word back from a few individuals before we can finalize a new template for that. Surgical Subspecialties is resolved. Gyn is back. Adult Med is 50% worked out, still trying to establish a faculty contact for the other half. Geri rotation progressing well but I still need to meet with one faculty about a few pieces of that. Pedi ER is resolved.

ER should be available in January. The latest projection on the hospital reopening date is December 9. Today I started working on a backup plan for the R3s in the event we have further delays with that.

Have a safe and happy Thanksgiving holiday.
