We get large, 18″x16″ plaques made with pictures of x-rays (they choose the case(s))  – it’s usually a case they are proud of or something they learned from – it’s really whatever they want it to be.  It includes an inscription/words of wisdom from our Chairman and Program Director and it includes their names/dates or residency on it.

Hi Sara! Exciting time to graduate your first class!

We have a watercolor print of the medical school campus matted, with their name and years of residency inscribed on the mat by a local calligrapher. They receive a tie or scarf in our school colors with the department logo. They also receive 5×7 prints of the full department photo (residents and faculty), a photo of the chiefs with our PD and chair, and a photo of the chiefs alone.

Hi Sara!  We have their completion certificates framed in a custom frame with the University name and seal and the mat is in the University colors. https://www.universityframes.com/.   The frames are shipped directly to me and then I put their certificates in the frame.  We also give them an executive swivel chair from standard chair, again with the University seal on the front and then they laser engrave the back of the chair with their name and Class of 2023 https://www.standardchair.com/Swivel_Desk_Chair/c55.
