Time with the chief residents

I had the pleasure today of conducting a small seminar for our Department of Medicine chief residents. These are the people who were the cream of the crop as residents, and as a "reward," we give them even more extensive teaching and administrative responsibilities! It was a pleasure to spend time with them and together explore the elements of effective leadership.

From left to right, you see Dan Meyer, Kelly Graham, Suma Magge, Ethan Ellis, Jed Gonzalo, and Janice Hwang. The picture behind them is of Howard Hiatt, a former chief of medicine at the Beth Israel Hospital, who is still active around town on many issues.
