The Nelson Society hosted their second annual Resident Career Day on February 21, 2024. This dedicated event provided residents with valuable insights and guidance regarding their future careers. The day consisted of a special grand rounds guest speaker, Dr. William Leininger, Naval Medical Center, San Diego.
Next were presentations from Alumni member, Dr. Jeffery Mormol and BJC Med Group on recruitment process and contracts. Residents then had the chance to learn from experts in the field about different career paths – clinical and non-clinical. They were excited to connect with these experienced professionals, ask them questions, and work on building their professional relationships.
Many thanks to our special guests for sharing their time and expertise with our trainees!
