“Medical education has always been a personal passion of mine, and it’s exciting to see that commitment continue to grow across our organization,” said Shane Strum, president and CEO of Broward Health. “Every graduating class represents the future of medicine, and I’m proud that Broward Health plays a role in shaping that future.”
Broward Health congratulates all graduating residents and fellows across its GME programs. The health system is proud to celebrate this important milestone and looks forward to the positive impact these physicians will make in the communities they serve.
