Fall 2019: UCF/HCA of Greater Orlando at Osceola
A new year also means new fellows! We welcomed Dr. Leoh Leon, one of our own graduates, as the first ultrasound fellow. He has already been hard at work, teaching medical students and interns the ways of ultrasound as well as providing valuable management information in the ED. We also welcomed Dr. Amanda Webb, another one of our graduates, as the first research fellow. Under the guidance of our research director Dr. Latha Ganti, we look forward to Dr. Webb helping us take the plunge into the waters of research. Both fellows will serve as attendings and educate us both in and outside of the ED.
This year we partook in Symposium by the Sea and the CPC Competition. It was an interesting experience, and our residents had a chance to display their creative, theatrical side. We look forward to partaking again next year. It is always a pleasure to connect with our ever-growing EM community in Florida and encourage academic pursuits.
The year is off to a good start and before we know it, we will be full throttle into recruitment season. I wish good luck to all programs and students as we head into another fun and exciting year. Remember to take the time and check in with your colleagues and remain an encouragement during this stressful time as new faces make their way into the ED! ■
