Spring 2020: UF Jacksonville

by fcepadmin | Apr 24, 2020

Congratulations to our rising chiefs: Drs. Jess Ryder, Chrissy Gage and Ryan Brandt. We are all excited to see you in your new leadership roles. Our PGY-2s had a great time in Greenville, SC for Southeastern SAEM. The weekend trip to the mountains was refreshing, and USC-Greenville did an excellent job in hosting the event. Hats off to everyone who presented at the conference, and especially to Dr. Andrew Sellinger, PGY-2, who won first place for his CPC on Vaping Associated Pulmonary Injury (VAPI).

It has been very exciting to see our Shands family grow, with multiple residents and staff bringing new children into the world. Welcome, little ones, and congratulations to the new parents.

Good luck to everyone during this challenging time in medicine and society in general. The worldwide outpouring of innovation, philanthropy, sacrifice and kindness has been inspiring. Take extra care of yourselves, mentally and physically, during this time period: your patients and families are counting on you. We were all made for this. As FDR said, “Smooth seas don’t make skillful sailors.” UF Jax is pulling for everyone across the state. ■
