Graduation Season 2018 came to an end with one final three-for-one extravaganza. Fellows completing training in allergy/immunology, endocrinology, and rheumatology were celebrated by two divisions on the top floor of the Midwest One Bank building just south of the old (no longer a) Post Office and the old (but still in use) Johnson County Courthouse.

In a yearly tradition, the Department of Internal Medicine once again invited its emeritus faculty members to a midday gathering. The luncheon serves many purposes. It gives the department a chance to thank faculty for their years of service. It gives faculty a chance to catch up with friends and colleagues they do not see […]

It’s safe to say after last week’s successful celebration of its graduating and departing residents, organizers will return here next year.
