Our faculty has had a productive quarter, with APD Dr. Andy Pennardt publishing a chapter titled “Blast Injury” in Emergency Medical Services: Clinical Practice and Systems Oversight, and “Riot Medicine: Civil disturbance Applications of the National Tactical Emergency Medical Support Competency Domains” in Journal of Special Operations Medicine. Program Director, Dr. Todd Slesinger, was re-elected to the FCEP board. Clerkship Director, Dr. Annalee Baker, published an article in the ACEP Journal: “Does Academic Practice Protect Emergency Physicians Against Burnout?” Director of Sports Medicine, Dr. John Childress, published, “Recommended Musculoskeletal and Sports Medicine Curriculum for Emergency Medicine Residency Training” in Current Sports Medicine Reports.

The residents have also continued to show up, with Dr. Ben Pirotte writing two cases for our simulation program, a massive GI bleed case for SimWars vs. the Kendall EM Residency, and a hyperkalemic cardiac arrest case for just our residents. Dr. Nicolas Ulloa presented a poster at the NSU-HCA virtual research day: “HTLV- 1 confirmed T-cell lymphoma presenting with cutaneous manifestations.” Dr. Trung Tran presented his abstract at ACEP 2020 virtual assembly titled: “A Survey of the Perception of Emergency Medicine Residents and Attending Physicians on the Effect of Sign-out on Safety and Efficiency.” We also had two residents match into fellowship: Dr. Laura Pumarejo Gomez into ultrasound at Kaiser in San Diego, and Dr. Manuel Obando into critical care at AdventHealth in Orlando.

We’ve had a busy interview season so far and look forward to gearing up again this month! ■
