Summer 2000

Class of 2000 Practice Plans

The Class of 2000 will mostly complete the Program June 30th. They have been a lively group and will be missed. Except for one maverick, they all plan to practice in either South Dakota or Minnesota. Hopefully they will stop in from time to time and let us know how things are going. We congratulate them on completing the Program and wish them success in their practices. This class of 11 brings the total number of Sioux Falls Family Practice Residency graduates to 222.
