Fall 2022: AdventHealth East Orlando

by Shannon Caliri, DO | Oct 31, 2022

Hello, everyone! Currently, everyone is getting used to their new roles in the emergency department. The interns are quickly learning their new responsibilities of patient care. With most of everything being new to them, it is a steep learning curve that we know you all will be able to overcome. The second years are getting used to their new responsibilities as seniors in the department and being there to help the interns and medical students. We are learning to step into more of the teacher role and take on an increased number of patients. The third years are now learning to manage more patients while also being able to take ownership of the emergency department, all while pushing to learn more from each patient before graduation comes.

An event we had recently was Disaster Day. We and the ER residents from HCA Florida Osceola teamed up to have a day where learning about what to do in a mass casualty event was turned into various games. Our residents were all split up into teams and competed for trophies. The day included games of jeopardy, rapid triaging, simulation cases, and even an escape room! It was such a great time and really made learning about this topic a fun experience. Thank you to everyone who was involved in making it happen and hopefully we can do more events like this in the future. ■
