Transitioning Into Practice Program
On Wednesday, October 28, 2009 the School of Medicine Alumni Association, Graduate Medical Education, and Utah Medical Education Council (UMEC) presented the TRANSITIONING INTO PRACTICE program. The goal of this new program is to provide the physician in training with information and tools to ensure a successful transition from training as a resident or fellow into the practice of medicine. The University of Utah School of Medicine Graduate Medical Education office, the University of Utah School of Medicine Alumni Association, and the Utah Medical Education Council are proud to have been able to present this opportunity to guide new physicians to a rewarding and beneficial career.
