We extend our congratulations and best wishes to the Class of 2007. Their residencies at Memorial Medical Center helped prepare them for challenging careers as hospital-based physicians, solo practitioners and members of group practices in communities across the country. Many are furthering their education as fellows at the Cleveland Clinic, University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center and other prestigious institutions. From Buffalo to San Francisco, these doctors are putting their skills and experience to use to heal, teach and research. We wish them continued success in their endeavors.
