Happy Fall! We at Orlando Health have stayed busy these past few months.

We were excited to participate in FCEP’s annual Symposium by the Sea. Thank you to all our colleagues around the state who worked tirelessly to pull this off virtually despite countless barriers. The symposium was perfect, and you are rockstars. We would like to congratulate some of our own presenters for their fantastic presentations: Mitch Barneck, Erich Heine, Jesse Glueck, Patty Ambrosio, Evelyn Ramirez and Brody Hingst. Way to go!

As COVID-19 continues to impact our community, we remain ever vigilant. Dr. Kurt Weber and several of our residents are hard at work investigating the prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 among team members with different work exposure risks. This is part of a large, nationwide, multicenter study. We are proud to be participating and look forward to seeing the data!

Finally, this year’s interview season will be unprecedented, as both programs and applicants adapt to a virtual venue. Although this is not ideal, EM physicians are trained to adapt and overcome. We are working around the clock to make this application cycle as gentle as possible for so many phenomenal M4 students. We are all in this together!

We hope this finds you safe and well,
Your Friends at Orlando Health ■
