Fall 2019: Orlando Health

by Samantha League, MA | Nov 21, 2019 | Central Florida, EMpulse, Orlando Health, Residency Update

Hello from Orlando! We’ve had an excellent beginning to our academic year. Our interns have been rocking it in and out of the department, seeing a lot of exciting cases in the ER, practicing procedures in Sim Lab, and honing their laser tag skills. We expect great things from the class of
’22!

It was a blast to see everyone at Symposium in Boca. Orlando Health took home 1st place in both the Resident and Fellow categories of the Research Poster Abstract competition. We had 19 posters accepted to this year’s conference. Congratulations to our ultrasound team who placed 3rd in SonoRace! We are so proud of our residents.

In September, ORMC residents, attendings, nurses and staff volunteered their efforts in serving the community at the Electric Daisy Carnival. Every year, Orange County EMS organizes medical tents to manage and treat carnival participants who are affected by various toxicities, particularly that of stimulant overdose. It’s an opportunity for our residents to manage sick patients outside the emergency department and treat toxic overdoses.

We are in the midst of planning our next recruitment season and looking forward to starting interviews this fall. We have a great crew here at ORMC and hope that all students consider us on their journeys to finding their residency family! ■
