Summer is in full swing down here in South Florida. While we are looking forward to our new class of residents to begin their training, we are sad to say goodbye to our departing seniors. We want to wish a big congratulations to our graduating residents, all of whom have signed contracts or moved onto fellowships. We thank you for your great leadership and contributions. You will make us proud representing our program in your next endeavors. 

To celebrate this momentous event, we attended a wonderful evening at the Addison in Boca Raton. Adding to the memorable distinction was the fact that this was the first time our program had been together in its entirety since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. What a night it was, complete with cocktails, a fantastic dinner and great company!

While we have said goodbye to our graduating class, we did have the pleasure of welcoming Dr. Michael Turchiaro’s newest and youngest daughter, Julia (Class of 2050), into our family. 

We are also excited to have chosen two new chief residents. Congratulations to Drs. Spencer Greaves and Rebecca Mendelsohn on your new positions. 

Congratulations to Class of 2021 List
