Introducing Humans of CDI & the Research Hub |
|
Starting this month, the CDI eNews will be rolling out some exciting changes to our monthly newsletter. Along with what you have come to know and expect, we are launching a new series called "Humans of CDI," a monthly feature meant to showcase and highlight members of our community. This month, in celebration of Women's History Month, we are highlighting Julie Price, PhD, CDI's Faculty Co-Director for Research, and Administrative Director for Research for CDI, Karen Osborne Greene.
In addition to Humans of CDI, we are also launching a section of the eNews called the "Research Hub," where we will be sharing resources and opportunities with our research community.
We hope that you enjoy these new elements as we continue to broaden the scope of actualizing our mission of building a diverse community of physicians, scientists and Patient Care Services professionals, and fostering a culture of inclusion and respect.

MGH Residency Programs Match Record Numbers of UiMs! |
|
We did it again! MGH had another record UiM match this year. Seventy-two (72) UiMs matched to 16 (of our 22) MGH/integrated residency programs. This represents 28% of the match, and includes 5 more UiMs than last year.
We could not have done this without you! A huge thank you to everyone who took the time from their hectic schedules to attend the CDI receptions, our first virtual Revisit Day, and to be involved in your program’s selection process. Over 400 UiM applicants participated in these receptions and found this an extremely rewarding experience! We will be welcoming our new residents in June. Stay tuned for our welcoming event details!

As we celebrate the 26th annual employee recognition program, we are especially proud to present this highly esteemed award to individuals and teams for their contributions “above and beyond the call of duty” to Mass General Brigham and our member institutions.

March 2022: Telling HerStory |
|
|
|
"I am inspired by my teachers and role models (e.g., physicians, scientists, parents, and champions for civil rights) whose work has impacted the well-being of others. I am also inspired by those who are in line behind me who are building their careers and seeking new opportunities."
|
|
Introducing Karen Osborne Greene |
"For this work to increase the number of UiM researchers and physicians touches my heart. We are helping to make the dreams of our students and even their parents and family's dreams for them to succeed come to pass. Creating opportunities in areas that lack the presence of the diverse community we serve then seeing our UiM and diverse faculty do well and succeed is inspiring."
