We welcomed over 120 participants to our 2nd Schwartz Rounds on Feb 14th, 2023. The theme was: The Intersection of Faculty and Learner Well-Being
Panelists Dr. Clara Long (R1), Mr. Paul Kennedy (Unit Coordinator, MGH), and Dr. Ning-Zi Sun offered diverse perspectives on the topic. A rich and engaged discussion followed whereby participants stressed the importance of expectations for both faculty and trainees. Communication between faculty and trainees is key to wellness as is teamwork for all members working together for a common goal.
The department would like to extend our congratulations to Haitham Shoman for being awarded the CIHR - Michael Smith Foreign Study Supplement to travel to Harvard University in Boston as part of his research.
Congratulations Haitham and best wishes for continued success in your PhD program.
