• There was 4 new consultations this week, 2 are handled by Randy and the other are assigned to Todd.

2. Update on Catalyst retreat

• The slides presented at the retreat will be available online on the Catalyst website. Valerie will post the link when available.
• The main focus of the Catalyst is a handful of promising clinical translational investigator that will be mentored closely. To do this, a intensive consultation service will be created.
