At Jamaica and Flushing Hospitals, the month of June is typically filled with graduation ceremonies celebrating the academic and career milestones of residents and fellows.
In previous years, these celebrations were held in large events spaces with many people in attendance. However, this year due to Covid-19 restrictions, ceremonies could not be conducted in person, and instead were done virtually. Included in the virtual graduation were messages from Mr. Bruce J. Flanz, President and CEO, Dr. Sabiha Raoof, Chief Medical Officer and Lourdes Goldenberg, the Director of Graduate Medical Education. Most of the celebrations took place between June 9th and the week of June 22nd.
