Greetings from Sarasota! We are so excited to welcome our third intern class and cannot wait for them to join our family this July. With the addition of this group, we look forward to finally having a full complement of residents.

Our program has also undergone different types of growth as well. Dr. Josh Pavlik, PGY-1, and his wife, Mindy, welcomed Jackson Pavlik into the world on March 17, 2021. Dr. Hannah Cianci, PGY-1 was also able to marry her fiancé, internal medicine resident, Dr. Bobby Malik, on March 20, 2021. Congratulations to all! 

Late last year, we were fortunate enough to receive Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccination. Since then, our residents have volunteered within the community to vaccinate our EMS workers during our EMS rotation. It has been great to give back to our community in this small way and help get our frontline workers protected.

Our inaugural class will be PGY-3 residents in the coming year, and they are gearing up to fully take on the role of senior. Our residency retreat will take place at the end of April, and our leadership positions, including chief resident, will be designated at that time. We will also get to enjoy a little time at the beach with our families and faculty during the retreat! Happy spring to all.
