As we approach the holiday season, I hope you each find some time for some well-deserved rest and reflection. As this year draws to a close, I encourage you to take some time to celebrate your accomplishments this year-both big and small. Regardless of where you are in your medical journey, you are one step closer to your goals, which is something to be truly proud of!
