Call for Recommendations - Faculty Formal Reviews

The Department of Internal Medicine invites all interested faculty, students, and staff to submit written recommendations for candidates having a formal review.

 Recommendations must be as specific as possible, and may not be anonymous. If you choose to submit a letter of recommendation, it must be submitted by June 30.  Letters should be addressed to Dr. Bjorkman and submitted to Lori Maness. This is separate from any official review request you may receive and is optional.

 Please contact Lori Maness with any questions or concerns at lori.maness@hsc.utah.edu or 801-587-8210.
