Santa brought Reza something precious - the 2013-2014 Joseph E. Robert, Jr. Fellowship in Pediatric Surgical Innovation, beginning July 1, et the  Sheikh Zayed Institute for Pediatric Surgical Innovation at the Children’s National Hospital in Washington, DC. According to the letter of award “Robert Fellows are fully integrated into the Sheikh Zayed Institute and generally treated on a par with faculty and senior staff.”  This is a major professional accomplishment, to which I congratulate wholeheartedly. There is just one minor hurdle for Reza... he must graduate by July 1, ho-ho-ho.

 Way to go, Reza!
