From the Director

Happy March! Thank you to everyone who helped with FUN-bruary, including the chiefs for an awesome Trivia Bowl and to all who helped us celebrate our amazing interns on Friday!

We will be putting out the calendar for JAR  fellowship meetings, so be on the lookout. I am looking forward to meeting with you all. 

Get  ready for HOOPS WATCH this Saturday. Will Zion return? Can we avenge the night in Cameron?

Kudos

Kudos this week go to Jess Regan and Kevin Prior from Brian Schneider for great work on VA GM, to the CAD NF crew of Nancy Yang and Katie Pollard from Cards Fellow Anthony Carnicelli for rockstar work on a VERY busy night, to Maryanne Osayande from Mike Grant for seamless GM handoff, to Alyssa Stavig from Evaron Sigmon in the CLC for outstanding patient care, to Adam Brock from Lindsey Shantzer for his help in the VA CCU, and to Chris Ferreri for a fantastic chairs conference.

PubMed from the Program
This week’s pubmed from the program goes to Matt Labriola for his publication  "Immunotherapy is changing First-line Treatment of Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma" in Genitourinary Cancer with Tian Zhang. 

Have a great week!

Narrative Medicine Returns
We're super excited to announce our next Narrative Medicine session on Mon., March 4 at 6:30 p.m. in Med Res! We are incredibly lucky to have Dr. Galanos (AND potentially Dr. Barfield as well) to precept our next meeting! Our prompt this session will be "Write from the perspective of a patient's family member/friend." By choosing this theme, we hope to inspire you to think about the thoughts, fears, and uncertainty that loved ones experience while helping us care for their family/friends in the hospital.

If you are interested in joining us, please send Matt Labriola an e-mail so we know how many to expect and can plan out how many narratives can be discussed. Dinner/drinks will be provided. To ensure a safe and intimate space, we are limited to ~12 participants so make sure to grab a spot!
