Spring 2022: FAU

by Tony Bruno, DO | Apr 23, 2022

We survived winter in Southeast Florida and are looking forward to spring days and beach sunsets. First off, we want to extend a big congratulations to our recently matched incoming residents. We can’t wait for you to start! Another round of congratulations is in order for our next chief residents: Drs. Timothy Buckley and Tony Bruno.

We have had some very exciting and enjoyable wellness events over the past few months. We most recently went to a Florida Panthers ice hockey game where the Panthers earned a big 6-3 win over the Philadelphia Flyers. A few other wellness events included ax throwing, a beach day, and an afternoon of learning and playing pickleball.

Last but not least, we want to give our third-year residents who are preparing to become attendings a big thank you for all of your contributions to our program! We are looking forward to seeing how well you will all represent us moving forward.

We also want to wish a warm farewell to our wellness director and one of our favorite attendings, Dr. William Benda, who will be retiring at the end of the academic year. Dr. Benda has been serving people in his hometown community and involved in emergency medicine for 40 years. Best of luck in retirement, Dr. Benda; we will miss you. ■
