Associate Program Director Assignments
In addition to the Program Director, we have five Associate Program Directors (APDs) — Drs. Esperanza Diaz, Katherine Klingensmith, Ruby Lekwauwa, Miyun Kang, and Michael Bloch — who help run the residency program. One of their roles is to work individually with residents to provide support and guidance during their residency training. They meet with each resident in their group twice during the year to review performance evaluations and discuss the resident’s progress. In addition, they are available to meet on an as needed basis to discuss whatever issues or concerns the resident may have. Each resident will be assigned an APD and assignments will be sent out in early July.
