Happy spring from all of us here at St. Lucie! I’m sure we’re not the only ones to be happy to have the ITE out of the way for this year. It’s been nice not to have that ever-present day in February looming over our shoulders. In-person learning has continued, and we are all looking forward to our annual EKG competition near the end of the year. Everyone is also very excited to get back to SIM lab! While we haven’t had much opportunity for it recently, it is an invaluable learning tool, and the seniors are excited to share the experience with the interns.

After yet another long and virtual interview season, we are very excited to welcome the class of 2025! We cannot believe that it is already time to welcome another new class of interns; it seems like only yesterday the class of 2024 was getting started. The current interns are very excited to pass down their knowledge. We hope that our new interns are as excited as we are to get started soon!

With the end of the academic year approaching, our seniors are preparing to graduate and start practicing on their own. We wish them nothing but the best. It is also clear that our second-years are starting to take more command of the department as they prepare to lead it in just a couple short months. While not announced yet, we are anxiously waiting for our new chief to be named, so stay tuned! ■
