Merry Christmas, Everyone!

The MSTP blog will be off for a short break 

between Christmas and the New Year this week. 

We wish everyone safe travels

 and good times spent with 

family and friends during this holiday season.

Scenes from MSTP Retreat 2017

Our very own Jon T., Maz B., Zach M., and Anna B.

quite different from the typical winter sunshine 

that we get in Madison, WI this time of year.

Attendings We've Accidentally Fallen In Love* With: Dr. Crnich

Who is he? 
One of the infectious disease attendings in the UW Hospital and a Big Deal in the Madison VA Hospital.

Why did we fall in love with him? 
They say Dr. Crnich is incredibly intelligent and really good at the following things:
- thinking
- having a sense of humor
- pulling it all off despite the looming threat of physician burnout.
And for that, we admire him.

*Fallen in love in a strictly professional manner. Maybe we're star struck, maybe it's Stockholm Syndrome, maybe it's something else entirely. These are generally people who never once yelled at us. In any case, we greatly admire these men and women and wanted them to be happy for at least a brief period of time while they were in charge of us.

Within the UW MSTP, we have people across the entire

 introvert-extrovert spectrum, and we love them all.

Attendings We've Accidentally Fallen In Love* With: Dr. Caldera

Who is she? 
One of the physiatristy attendings over at Middleton Rehab.

Why did we fall in love with her? 
Do you like procedures? Do you aspire to be a botox wizard? Because she will totally let the medical students assist with ultrasound-guided botox injections; it's kind of amazing. She's also one of the nicest people ever, so there's that.

It's the last MSTP Seminar of the Semester!

Put on your most festive Christmas Sweater and 

join us for today's MSTP seminar where we'll be 

hearing from Ben Steyer while enjoying some 

delicious pizza and drinks from 

the local Glass Nickel Pizza!
