What a time of transition in the Diagnostic Residency Program! New PD’s, new residents, new fellows, new chief residents. As I take over the reins of the program, I am grateful to my predecessor, Sheryl Jordan, in that the program is in excellent shape! As I settle in to the various tasks, I am very excited to work with both David Mauro and the newly appointed Cody Schwartz. In addition, we bid farewell to three great chief residents and look forward to the new chief residents, John Campbell, Hamilton Howe, and Justin Rodriguez.
