Testimonials “I didn’t know what to expect from the retreat, and to be honest, besides the Chief Resident-centered stuff described before the retreat, it was the locale chosen that enticed me most. Now, I’m so glad I came and had the opportunity to learn more about geriatrics. It really is a field all of us need to learn more about, but maybe didn’t realize it until this retreat. I think it was a success and will make sure next year’s new Chief Residents view it as ‘mandatory’.”
Testimonials “I liked the discussions focused on the challenges of interacting with highly educated people who all have their own way of looking at things.”
Testimonials “Teaching resources obtained will be useful to me and the Chief Residents for teaching geriatrics in the outpatient and inpatient settings. It was useful to observe the geriatrics faculty and their teaching styles.”
Testimonials "A major part of CRIT is the opportunity to interact with my chief resident, but also to have them interact with other [chiefs] and for me to interact with other faculty and Program Directors. I don't have that opportunity otherwise. It's the reason I come back year after year.” “It's the only chance I have to meet informally with chiefs from other services and with my chief. Normally, such interactions are structured. This year I got to meet my chief's wife. It's important to have personal relationship when problems arise. For example, there were cases during the year when I stopped to talk to the chiefs in [other surgical specialty] and wouldn't have done that otherwise."
