for psychologists and LMHCs. We also welcomed Ms. Pamela Le as our Educational Coordinator, who has assumed coordination of Grand Rounds from Ms. Marcy Guzik. We extend our deepest appreciation to Ms. Guzik for her exemplary service as Grand Rounds Coordinator
over the past four years. Her dedication, creativity, and enthusiasm have been instrumental to our success, and we look forward to supporting her continued growth in her role as Associate Psychiatry Residency Program Manager.</span></p>

you will now receive calendar invitations for all presentations. Please note that Psychopharmacology Rounds will transition to an online format, taking place on the second Wednesday of each month at noon via Zoom. We encourage you to help us strengthen our
continuing education programs by completing evaluations regularly.</span></p>
