On Wednesday September 25th 2024 from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM, CIR members and allies will gather outside and around the George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences (Ross Hall - 2300 I St NW) for an informational picket action to demand a fair contract immediately.

GWU's expensive outside negotiators have dragged bargaining out for months, while GWU has refused to agree to the salary and mental health benefits their residents and fellows need to care for themselves and their loved ones. The devastating cost of living crisis in the region has left many suffering from widespread burnout and struggling to afford the rising costs of housing, food, and childcare, on top of their existing debt, which averages $200,000 for medical school graduates. Residents and fellows at GWU care for all of DC. Having the support they need from GWU allows them to provide the best patient care to the DC community. 

Sign up below and join GWU resident physicians at the informational picket on Wednesday September 25th 2024 from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM to tell GWU that all of DC is standing in solidarity with residents and fellows at GWU. 

The Committee of Interns and Residents (CIR) is the largest housestaff union in the United States, representing over 33,000 resident physicians and fellows who are dedicated to improving residency training and education, advancing patient care, and expanding healthcare access for our communities.
