Chief Takeover of Residency News - Round 2
The boss is away for vacation this week, so the Chiefs get the opportunity to pass out the kudos and hype to the program yet again. We can’t believe it’s March already, and believe it or not we will have a new intern class THIS FRIDAY FOR MATCH DAY!! Current interns get hype because you are only a few months away from handing the baton (aka pager) over to the new group. How will you celebrate?? Be sure to tune in to Dr. Zaas’ special Match Day Medicine Grand Rounds this week at 8 am on 3/18!
Some other exciting events this week. Today is Pi Day and while we are not having another pie eating contest, you can still enjoy endless amounts of pi(e) on your own! (*dad joke alert*)
We have our annual IM Residency March Madness Bracket Challenge starting this week. This year we are raising money to donate to local charity with the challenge. Sign up here: Duke IM Bracket Challenge

Kudos
Rohit Nair from neuro team for stepping up and covering the service when not assigned, Emily Romanoff, Hannah Schwennesen, and Shivy Chandramouli for excellent leadership and teamwork at a long patient code on the floor. To Hannah Florian for arranging DOC’s mobile lab visits while on a busy VA CCU service and bringing high energy on call. Kudos to Maxine Chan for crushing cost effectiveness and teaching us all at JAR CAT from Mike Cosiano. To Sunny Chung and Felicia Cao for catching a posterior STEMI at the VA and getting them the appropriate care from future chief Lonnie Sullivan. To Matt Townsend for receiving a Gold Star award and for recent abstract selection for oral presentation. To Matt Abbott from Nijat Aliyev and Felicia Cao for excellent CCU consults and care. To Carolyn Ahlers from Shivy Chandramouli for crushing 9300. To Sarah Morgan from Ann Cameron Barr for helping out at the DOC. To Nandita Singh from Aman Kansal for round the clock consideration of care for veterans. To Courtney Dominguez & Sidney Barrau from Emory Buck for always updating their veteran’s families! To Apurva Khedagi from Aubrie Carroll for dominating VA GM. To Shannon Herndon from Emilio Guzman Cisneros for VA GM care. To Apurva Khedagi, Daniel Travis and Erin Hercules from Nijat Aliyev for having their VA teams well tucked-in! To Priyanka Reddy from Bari Rosenburg for stepping in to cover MICU call. Additional kudos from Bari Rosenburg to Sarah Moserowitz and Lynette Staplefoote-Boynton for being awesome MICU co-JARs. To Forrest Gamble from Nijat Aliyev for staying late to help a sick veteran. To Matt Labs from Fouad Chouairi, Sara Barlow and Sachi Oshima for sending the interns home early and helping with admissions. Can’t believe Labs didn’t step in to point out Fouad gave these tacos in the general slack thread! Also kudos to Fouad for expanding our vocabulary to consider using the word panache more often - please see both definitions below.
