Orange Park Medical Center has welcomed its inaugural class into its 3-year program with 12 fantastic residents.

Highlights of our young program include:

• Our program director is primary investigator recipient for one grant for approximately $40,000.
• Residency leadership is co-investigator for a multi-site project with a second grant worth approximately $50,000.
• All residents are undergoing introductory training on six sigma quality principles.

We are currently collaborating on various research projects with four external institutions and projects that involve investigators from various other departments such as trauma, pediatrics and dermatology.

In the upcoming months we look forward to planning resuscitative TEE training, finishing six sigma training for our interns, mapping out our next wellness retreats and continuing to grow. ■
