Residents’ holiday celebration, 2023

Just before the end-of-year pause, the Internal Medicine Residency Program hosted a small holiday celebration for its members, bringing a bit of warmth, even from a YouTube Yule log, into the year’s final weeks. Over noon conference, attendees ate lunch and other treats while discussing holiday plans. Some also built gingerbread houses, while others opened their Secret Santa gifts.

Chief Residents Taylor Becker, MD, and Reed Johnson, MD, directed the festivities, while faculty like Associate Program Director Justin Smock, MD, stopped by in a festive sweater and to pose for the Chiefs’ Instagram page.
