Winter has come and gone as we enter spring here in South Florida. While the cool temperatures were great, we look forward to longer beach days. Our FAU EM family has continued to grow. It’s hard to believe the match has already come and gone. We want to extend a big congratulations and welcome to all of our incoming residents.

Aside from our incoming class, we have several more additions to announce. We would like to say congratulations to Dr. Spencer Greaves, PGY-2 and his wife who had a baby boy, Charles Greaves, and to Dr. Thomas Peterson, PGY-2 and his wife who also had a baby boy, Santiago Peterson. We’re excited to have them as part of our family.

During one of our beautiful spring days, we had our first inaugural Simulation Olympics. We would like to give a big thank you to Dr. Hughes and everyone else who helped make this day a success. Events included various relay races with a variety of common procedures performed in the ED mixed with field day games.

We are very happy to announce a partnership with the medical students in the emergency medicine interest group at FAU. Within this group, we have started a mentorship program and have also begun virtual as well as in-person learning and skills sessions.

We have continued our research with Dr. Spencer Greaves, PGY-2, who is planning to give an oral presentation at SAEM in May entitled, “Fluorescent Tracer in Personal Protective Equipment Training in the Era of Coronavirus Disease.”
