This August 16th, our community is invited to join with others nationally in celebrating GME Professionals Day.
We are biased, of course, in our belief that UW GME professionals are the best in the business, yet moment by moment you prove this to be true. This year, in particular, we want to offer tremendous gratitude to those of you who responded in short order to our request for participants in our ACGME CLER visit.
Welcoming new trainees each year provides opportunities for reevaluation and reconnection with our mission. We are hopeful that you found meaning and hope in new relationships and fresh energy as well as other moments to bask in the Seattle (or PNW!) sun and spend time in activities that bring you joy and restoration.
Without your knowledge, dedication and creativity, UW GME simply could not succeed. As in any organization, we see many opportunities to improve your experience as team members. With your partnership, we will move in these directions so that you can be proud and satisfied to call UW GME “home” for many years.
Thank you for being our backbone and our partners. Thank you for being the best of us.
With admiration and respect,
