We are thrilled to welcome Mason, Brandon, and Jonathan to our program!

Our annual Airway Course hosted by our Pediatrics and Laryngology faculty was a success. A great opportunity to advance our airway skills in a simulated environment at iExcel. 

Most of program leadership is attending the conference in San Diego. Our very own President, Dr. Jeffrey Gold, introduced today’s keynote speaker Dr. Amy Edmondson speaking on psychological safety for teams.
