Hello again from all of your EM friends in East Orlando. It’s hard to believe that another academic year has come to a close, but here we are again, sending another six newly-minted emergency physicians out into the world. However, the AdventEM family continues to grow as we welcome another group of eager young learners into the department. The new interns are busy with their onboarding process, but have already started getting to know them at social events. We would like to formally extend our biggest congratulations and welcome to all our incoming interns!

We would like to congratulate Dr. Rutledge on her new position as Simulation Director. Since assuming her new role, she has already organized two simulation days. This month, residents enjoyed a newer simulation format called Rapid Cycle Deliberate Practice as they worked through challenging pediatric resuscitations together on simulation day. The newer format — perhaps best described as “pause, debrief and try again” — emphasizes repetition and “micro-debriefing” to promote learning and retention.

Finally, we have some exciting announcements. First we are proud to announce that the new site for our trauma rotation will be at Jackson Memorial South in Miami, FL. Lastly, residents have continued their work recording for the AdventEM podcast. Give us a listen!
