Internal Medicine Residency News, Jan. 22, 2019

From the Director

Happy Tuesday!

Lot’s going on despite the terribly cold weather! Many thanks to our ResCo for re-invigorating the Wednesday get togethers, and also for the awesome Res-i-teering activities. Check out the skills shown by Becca Lumsden, Chidi Egwim, Nancy Yang and Neha Kayastha as they made cookies and entertained the families at Ronald McDonald House.

We are excited about kicking off Fun-bruary with Mentoring Week, as well as many other fun activities. Keep on the lookout for the Fun-bruary calendar!

Kudos

Kudos this week go to Lonnie Sullivan for his outstanding speech honoring Dr. Brenda Armstrong at the SNMA Dr. Martin Luther King Day dinner. He did a wonderful job at a fantastic event. Kudos to Ashley Naughton and Alex Sullivan from Eileen Maziarz for outstanding care of a very sick patient at LCHC, to Manisha Bhattacharya from psych intern Hudaisa Hafeez for being an outstanding team leader and team player on DRH Gen Med! Kudos to Nick Shelburne and Lindsey Shantzer for an awesome Med-Surg conference at the VA, and to Nick Kamp from Kara Wegermann for stepping up to help out a sick colleague AND a sick patient! Other kudos to Alex Sullivan for a great Chair’s Conference, to Shannon Niedermeyer, Bryan Golubski, Sheila Sherzoy, Chidi Egwim and Cindy Pabon for interview tours, and to Hannah Dzmictrowicz, Dennis Narcisse, Bhavik Patel, Cindy Pabon, and Chidi Egwim for my takes!

PRIME family,

Hi everyone. I hope each of you are refreshed and rejuvenated after Holiday break. Interns you have survived the first 6 months of residency and have graduated in PRIME. Please remember the attendings are available at any time to see patients with you even if you have graduated. For all residents please notify your LPNs and front desk if you are running behind so the staff can update patients about any delays. For those residents on team 3, Charlie Sessoms will be out for 3 more weeks and has news for you, please ask him the details of his time away upon his return. 

Lastly, we will be sending out a PRIME Updates email that will seem extremely long. Apologies in advance… but please read through the email and let us know if you have any questions. 

That’s it everyone,
Sonal and Leigh
