GREETINGS FROM THE DIRECTOR Hello! I love this time of year. We know who is joining our program, the current interns are starting to see a light at the end of the year, we are getting ready to see our 4th year med-peds residents off to the next steps in their careers, and the weather in NC is amazing. As with many of you, it’s a whirlwind to reflect back on the last 14 months – we knew so little about how to identify and treat COVID and now we have a vaccine for it that has been approved down to the age of 12. We pivoted in so many ways in our day to day lives from patient care, learning and recruitment – learning new virtual platforms. The pandemic of racism remains a struggle, and I am proud of the community that the med-peds residents and faculty have built around sharing and learning from one another. I hope that you have been able to re-connect with loved ones you have not seen in a while. Take care and send us your news! Jane Trinh
