Greetings from Miami! We can’t believe it’s already 2022. It seems like just yesterday we were hosting our orientation month and the annual Intern Welcome BBQ at Dr. Arthur Diskin’s house.

Now, we are at the tail end of our second virtual recruitment season. Overall, it has been a success. Our faculty and residents, along with our applicants, have embraced the challenge and have done a great job. We have had an exceptional group of applicants and are looking forward to our Class of 2025.

Our residents and faculty have also pushed forward with our social EM program. While it has been challenging during COVID, our residents have continued their commitment to incorporating a patient’s social context into their care to address their needs better. Our residents have focused on four core issues: community outreach, access to care, social justice, and curriculum integration. For more, you can check out our website at miamiemresidency.org in the Social EM Section.

As we look back on 2021, we want to take a moment and express our thanks and gratitude. We are thankful for our talented, dedicated, and hard-working faculty, residents, and staff. We are grateful and proud to be at Jackson Health System and the University of Miami, providing care to all those in need. We are excited to continue the mission of our program and institution and are looking forward to 2022! ■ • Bryce Hoer accepted a position at

Lastly, I’d like to thank Shayne Gue, MD for everything he has done for our program. We were sad to say our goodbyes to him as he accepted a position elsewhere. Dr. Gue was our Exam Content Lead and has always made learning an enjoyable experience. He truly cares for the residents and rotating medical students, always wanting to help them grow as learners and physicians. With Dr. Gue being a former graduate of our program, it was a bittersweet goodbye on his last day. We wish you good luck and know you will continue to excel in all of your future endeavors. ■

The weather has started to cool down a bit here. Coming from Chicago myself, you would think I would be better at dealing with this, yet I am sitting here bundled up in blankets. Luckily, most of us were able to spend quality time with friends and family this holiday season.

Recently, our residents took a practice ITE exam. This helps us see where we stand and what areas we need to continue working on.

We also have exciting news! All of our senior residents have accepted positions for after they graduate: • Joey Ray will be completing a fellowship in Medical Education at

Loma Linda • Yuchen Duan will be completing an

EMS fellowship at Orlando Regional

Medical Center • Saleh Hasan accepted a position at

Bayfront Health in St. Petersburg,

Greetings from the EM family here at USF/TGH. We have some exciting updates to share.

We have come to the conclusion of yet another exciting fellowship match. We want to congratulate Dr. Jared Senvisky for matching into a critical care fellowship here at USF and Dr. Tiffany Pleasent for matching into an EMS fellowship at UT Southwestern. Additionally, we are proud to say that Dr. Pleasent was also named the GME cultural champion at USF, showing how our EM residents strive to not only take active efforts to improve the life of our patients, but our co-workers and community overall. Speaking of creating a positive culture: ED volumes remained high as we entered into the holiday season, which is a tough time for residents away from their families. Our residency family came together to celebrate “friendsgiving,” where residents had the morning away from the ED to be able to spend quality time with each other, get active with outdoor games, and show off some culinary know-how.
