Leadership
Faculty Coordinator: Jorge Garcia, MD
Leadership requirement SFM
All second and third year residents are required to participate in a medical committee. When possible, R2s will pair with an R3 to join these committees as a team, to allow one resident to miss a meeting when there is a scheduling conflict. Residents will report back to the entire residency by email after these meetings.
Hospital Committees are listed below, and these are the preferred committees for resident participation. (If a resident wants to work with a Medical committee that is not on this list, please communicate with advisors.)
In the first block of the academic year, all residents need to choose one of these committees to join, and plan on participating for two years. Communicate with your advisor to review which committee you will join, and what you hope to accomplish.
