Resident Program Update

Print Article


POSTED IN: EPIC - The Official Newsletter of MOCEP, May/June 2017,

June will soon arrive and that means that it’s time to bid farewell to graduating residents from across the state. These individuals have spent the last 3-4 years honing their craft and learning what it means to be an emergency physician. In the process they have cared for countless Missourians and improved the health of our state.

The residency programs aren’t slowing down and have some great updates they want to share, as well as congratulating those that are completing their programs.
