and highest-quality care to every patient who walks through our doors. We have adopted various virtual platforms to continue to meet the need for educating our residents and increased our telemedicine capabilities. I am proud of every resident, fellow, and faculty who continue to serve as front-line healthcare workers in our fight against this invisible pathogen. Finally, we graduated 27 residents and fellows at the end of June. These graduates will join the hundreds of alumni who have been trained at Kern Medical over the last six decades. We are excited for the changes and enhancements we have made to our programs

and we look forward to this new academic year. We hope that these changes allow for even more opportunity and growth for our learners, and together we continue to be the leading academic institution we are all proud to be a part of.
