Read the Galveston Daily News articles on the consultant report and the Texas House Select Committee on Hurricane Ike's recommendations.
As the GDN proclaims in a large banner headline: MIXED SIGNALS.

What does the future hold?
The long-awaited consultant report was released today by UT System. Access the 14 page executive summary here.
Dr. Callender's response is here.
I have read the executive summary and will post my thoughts and reflections a bit later. Of course, there is as of yet no indication which choice will be selected by the Board of Regents nor what counsel will come from the governor's office. The next several days and weeks are likely to be pretty news-filled. I have some work travel obligations coming up but will try to keep updates posted as I learn more.

It's a wrap!
Our Match 2009 recruiting season is finished!! We completed interviews this week and last night held our official Rank Meeting. The Rank List is completed and will be loaded for the match next week.
I was very happy with the quality of our applicants' credentials. USMLE scores, medical school academic performance and recommendation letters were overall excellent and I'm quite pleased that despite the hurricane, we were able to hold steady regarding our commitment to performance standards for our applicants. Proportionately, we interviewed our usual number of applicants per slot (remember that we will be matching for 4 this year). Overall, I have to consider our 2009 Match recruiting season a success and we are hoping to fill our slots in the Match.
Many thanks to the Recruiting Team, especially our resident members and also to our applicants. We appreciate your openness to consider whether our challenges related to the hurricane recovery fit with how you'd like to see yourself grow and the experiences you'd like to have during residency.
Best wishes to our applicants for a successful match!
