The UCSD Combined Residency Welcome, Goodbye, and Reunion


So once a year, at the time for welcoming new interns and congratulating graduating 5th years, our program co-director Dr. Folsom invites all of the residents and their families over to his house for Ranchos enchiladas and a big Mexican feast. When we say all of us...I don't mean just the 10 of us in the program, but all combos who have ever graduated from our program. It is an incredible night of reconnecting, inspiring, celebrating and... well, combining! This year was no exception with alumni from the first graduating class all the way through our new interns we feasted and roasted and toasted and as always it was a fabulous night. Thanks again so much to Dr. Folsom and his family for opening up their home to us all. We can't wait 'til next year!!
