Resident-Faculty Kickball Game
Who: NCC Peds Staff vs. Residents. Fellows, medical students and rising PGY-1 welcome!
What: NCC Peds Annual Kickball Game
When: 0730-0900, 18 June
Where: USU Softball Field
Why: Take part in a time-honored NCC Peds tradition. Back in 2017 when Dr. Patterson was a Major and Rob shared an intern desk with Dr. Arora, the residents and attendings took the field in a quarterly showdown to release pent-up frustrations that Reverse-Ed meetings couldn't quite placate. A tradition that was lost in the pandemic, but we're bringing it back! As per tradition, the resident team will wear bright colors and the attending team will wear black.
