Thank a Resident/Fellow Day 2025
On Friday, February 28, 2025, the UTHSC College of Medicine - Chattanooga and Erlanger hosted a "Thank a Resident Day" luncheon (Noon - 1 pm) to recognize the 200 Residents and Fellows who provide quality patient care to the entire Erlanger community and surrounding region. These Residents and Fellows are involved in the patient care of almost every patient who comes through the Erlanger doors for clinical treatment and support. Our trainees are vital to the successful mission of Erlanger -- The event was started nationally by the Arnold P. Gold Foundation and its network of Gold Humanism Honor Society Chapters in medical schools and GME Sponsoring Institutions across the country.
On the 28th, more than a hundred UT Resident and Fellow Physicians were able to stop by in the Erlanger POB Conference Room and celebrate with one another and enjoy the Taco Bar, Ice Cream Sundae Station, and Starbucks Gift Cards for each of our Graduate Medical Education trainees. The C-Suite and Board members of both institutions served lunch and spoke to the group of Residents, Fellows, Faculty, and administrative staff.
