Message from John England, MD AUPN President
For most of us, June is a busy time. Since it is the end of the academic year, we say goodbye to our graduating residents and fellows, but welcome our new ones. This is the bittersweet, exciting and fun part of June. However, June is also the time when departmental budgets for the new academic year must be finalized – this is definitely not the fun part! If you need some last minute advice on departmental budgeting, please access the June Leadership Minute below. I am hopeful that all of you will meet these challenges and enter the new academic year with fresh insights and ideas. As a reminder, some important notices are highlighted below.
