Hello again! First of all, I would like to congratulate all of the fourth-year medical students who have matched into emergency medicine. Take this time to refresh and relax before you have to hit the ground running once July 1 comes around. Do not be afraid to lean on your upperclassmen or mentor for support. It’s a steep learning curve again, but you will all do just fine. We are all very excited to meet our new interns and cannot wait to help pave the way for you.

With it getting close to the end of the year, the interns are all getting much more comfortable in the department. We are getting used to seeing more patients, establishing a flow, and doing procedures. Our second-years are getting ready to take on their new responsibilities of third-years and help teach the incoming class. Our third-years are preparing to step out into the “real world” and practice on their own.

Lastly, I’d like to congratulate our new chief residents, Drs. Vlad Mordach and Casey McGillicuddy! We know you both will do an amazing job next year. ■
