From the Director

It’s Mentoring Week! Looking forward to some great networking at noon conference and to having JAR Networking Night with the Division Chiefs and Fellowship PDs at Dr. Cooney’s home on Wednesday – all divisions, hospital medicine and primary care representing! 

Thanks to all who were able to make it to the fellowship information sessions with Bill Hargett and me – updated packet to be out this week. Looking forward to you all getting your applications together. 

Get ready for the CHARITY AUCTION! Coming up on MARCH 6. Tickets are on sale now and also available at the door. Looking forward to a fun night raising money for Lincoln Community Health Center and Senior PharmAssist.

Kudos
Kudos this week go to Hannah Florian from Cindy Pabon for outstanding coordination of care for a sick patient, to Kim Cocce from Dr. Diana Medehint for amazing work overnight on Duke GM, to Nate Goodwin from Dr. Ashreen Sharif for excellent patient care in Endocrine clinic, to Bhavik Patel for a great Chair’s conference, to Jared Lowe from Dylan Ryan for his help with a patient, to Andrew Andreae from Hayley Cunningham for being a great ResCo partner, and to Nancy Yang and Justin Yoo for awesome SAR talks!

PubMed from the Program​

Have a great week!

Happy February to all! PRIME residents, please be sure to read your Feb. 1 monthly clinic update email.

We’re thrilled to have Steve Pappas back this week. Also welcome intern Rabab Ali to PRIME.

Staffing updates: LPN Joseph Collins has arrived to the PRIME team, from Duke. He’s working alongside Michelle Dunlap and Scott Thomas. Social worker Ashley Witherspoon is relocating to Atlanta. Stay tuned for an update on who will be our newly-assigned social worker.

Vista Web will be retired later this month. To see records from other VAs, Department of Defense, and sometimes Epic-based systems, use JLV.

Thanks for all you do for our patients and for each other, whether in PRIME or elsewhere. Happy early spring!

Rheumatology Info Session
Join the Rheumatology Fellowship Program for an information session from 6:30-8:30 p.m. on Tues., Feb. 25. Look for more details in your email.

Narrative Medicine Returns Feb. 28
IM Residency's Narrative Medicine group will meet Feb. 28 at 6:30 p.m. in the Med Res Library. Dr. Galanos (Dr. G) will precept this session. If you are interested, please RSVP to Govind Krishnan. We have found in the past that a small group fosters a sense of intimacy and allows for open sharing, so we will limit attendance to the first 10 people who RSVP.

The theme for this session will be "Relationships." If you are interested in writing a piece, feel free to write about anything this word might bring to your mind, be it the relationships you form with patients, with your co-residents, with family, or of course romantic ones. So as to give everyone who wishes to, a chance to discuss their piece, invite commentary, and open it up for discussion, we ask that you limit your piece to less than 1,000 words. So we can share our pieces with others prior to the session, if you are able to, please email Govind your piece by 2/25/2020. As a final thought, our narrative medicine sessions are considered a safe space: Whatever is shared in our session, we ask that you keep private without express permission to share with others. As always, food will be provided!
