Residents enjoy a complimentary lunch.
This week, we celebrate Graduate Medical Education (GME) Trainee Appreciation Week in honor of our amazing residents and fellows, who deliver exceptional patient care across the health system every day.
Our GME trainees are an outstanding group of 851 physicians engaged in 130 UVA training programs. They are invaluable members of our healthcare team who partner with our faculty and staff to ensure patients receive high-quality, compassionate care in the face of complex medical situations.
In addition to their clinical duties, trainees mentor medical students, bolster research innovation, and engage with our community. Their devotion to the rigorous training required for their chosen specialty as well as the advancement of all four SOM mission areas is respected and appreciated. We are grateful not only for their dedication but also for the valuable support they receive from their families and friends. We ask that you join us and personally thank our residents and fellows for their contributions to caring for our patients, colleagues, and community.
To our GME trainees, we hope you have been able to enjoy the special activities planned for this week in appreciation of all that you do!
With gratitude,
