Completed my 2024 grand rounds - I have some mixed feelings about it overall, to be honest. I initially wanted to do a broad topic to "get back into it" and re-debut in my department after being on grand rounds haitus for almost 5 years, but that meant it ended up being less polished, slightly rushed, and much material. My original plan to "build sexuality and gender from the ground-up" didn't have enough nuance and either wasn't enough material or was not "clinical" enough, so instead I approached it from a historic perspective of labels.

The season is upon us - well, Halloween, but also lecture season! For the first time ever (?) (!) I've remember to log into the site pre-lectures, so welcome to all new PGY-2s and PGY-3s! Please use the Dropbox (will be sent via email and confirmed at the lectures themselves) for lectures, articles, and other information. This site will mostly be supplemental to that. Pleases see the link pages for social media - though I've been mostly off of it recently.

Program is still being developed, but the website has some new info: https://www.anpaonline.org/
