Chief Resident List for 2019-2020

As the next year of postgraduate training begins, we are proud to recognize the many AUC graduates who have been named chief residents for the 2019-2020 year.

What does it mean to be named a chief resident? Your residency program director and/or peers feel that you are capable and ready to handle additional responsibilities in postgraduate training—such as mentoring and advocating for other members of your team, doing work to support overall program objectives, and other added leadership or administrative duties.

As the next year of postgraduate training begins, AUC is proud to recognize the following AUC graduates who have been named chief residents for the 2019-2020 year.

Are you an AUC graduate who has been named chief resident? Send an email to aucnews@aucmed.edu with your name and residency information and we'll add you to our growing list!
