Spring has arrived in Ocala. Along with it came our highly anticipated EMS Day at the Florida State Fire College in Ocala. We spent the day in fellowship with our local firefighters, gaining perspective on the pre-hospital challenges our fire/EMS colleagues face. Many residents completed the firefighter entrance physical exam, learned the basics of putting out a fire and used spreaders and cutters to simulate patient extraction from vehicles. We all enjoyed getting outside and learning some new skills. 

We are proud and overjoyed to see the progress we have made individually and as a residency over the last 12 months. It’s exciting to watch our seniors take charge of the department as they near graduation. It is equally as thrilling to see the knowledge and confidence our first-year residents have garnered as they become more comfortable taking care of acutely ill patients in the department. 

We look forward to our newest cohort of residents joining our residency and cannot wait to meet them in person in the coming months. We’d like to extend our congratulations to our senior residents as they move on to the next phase of their careers. We wish Dr. Titelbaum the best of luck at Emory University and welcome the continued presence of our newest attendings, Drs. Johnson, George and Smith.
