We are excited to share Team Thalamus’s recent enhancements to our leading GME recruitment platform! Our team is constantly innovating Thalamus, Cortex and Cerebellum, and appreciate and value the many suggestions applicants, program coordinators, program directors, DIOs and other members of the GME community submitted through our idea portal this past recruitment season.
