It has been a sweltering but exciting summer in Miami. We welcomed our class of 2022 with a visit to the ballpark, a night at the Arsht Center and a delightful BBQ. We are fortunate to have another amazing group of interns who come from all over the country, bringing a breadth of diversity, experiences and insight. We are energized by their spirit and can’t wait to get them started on their careers as EM physicians.

Faculty and residents from Jackson/University of Miami and Holy Cross Hospital were excited to attend, participate and present at this year’s Symposium by the Sea in Boca Raton. Dr. Panakos presented on spontaneous coronary artery dissection. Drs. Medwid and Supino presented on rapid cycle debriefing in simulation, and Dr. Posaw was instrumental in organizing and leading the ultrasound competition.

Additionally, we were thrilled by our residents’ successes! Drs. Kelsey Wolfe and Dennis D’urso competed in the Case Presentation Competition at Symposium by the Sea. Dr. D’Urso was awarded best discussant and both were selected as best overall team. Congratulations to them for their great presentations, hard work and well deserved victory. A shout out also goes to Dr. Timothy Montrief, whose contribution helped win first place for a student poster. The study that the poster was based on was also published in the Journal of Pediatric Intensive Care in July.

We held our faculty and residency retreat in September, which was a great opportunity for team building and brainstorming. Many exciting events are also on the horizon. Our senior class will all be heading to ACEP20 in Denver. And before we know it, recruitment season will be before us.

We look forward to seeing everyone at ACEP! ■
