Internal Medicine Residency News- September 16th, 2024

IM Residency

From the Director

COUNTDOWN to STEAD TREAD! It’s this Saturday! Are you signed up and ready to run/walk in this amazing event?  Maybe you got in shape by crushing the pickleball tourney?  Maybe you are trying to win your age group? Maybe you want to come out and cheer people on? Whatever your motivation, join in and support the fantastic Lincoln Community Health Center.

Looking forward to seeing the next group of JARs (Group “C”) at our house for the SI4R “Stepping in 4 Respect” training on Wednesday!  Please reach out with any questions.

Speaking of fun, way to go DOC for a pizza and ice cream social on Friday and PRIME for the Piney Woods get together on Sunday! Building community in continuity clinic = aspirational! Thanks to all who worked to make these events happen.

Check out the photos of Victor teaching at City of Medicine, along with co-teachers Roshini Srinivasan and Dre Rochet! Thanks for taking time to teach the COM students on Friday!

Rising SARs (aka JARs) please see the email about applying for short term global health rotations as well as the accompanying email detailing the possible Senior Development Electives during your SAR year.  GH is the one opportunity you need to consider now as the application process is completed before schedule requests.  Any questions, please reach out to me or to Dr. Becca Lumsden.

Kudos

Kudos this week to Lynette Staplefoot-Boynton and Mark Brahier on superior SAR talks, to Best Uchehara, Tilicia Henry and Eric Wilson (from Brian Schneider and all at the VA) for navigating some complex issues with telemetry, to Ryan Moore from Lily Suarez for his excellent management of a very sick patient, to Josh Barton from Auston Stiefer for great work in the VA MICU, and to Chief Komal from Liz Kobe for her ophthalmology skills.
