Spring 2022: HCA Kendall
Hello again from Miami!
The last few months without COVID surges finally gave our residents more opportunities to hang out together outside of the department. This year, we got to have not one, but two post-ITE wellness events. One was a water sports day where our residents got to kayak and paddleboard with some friendly manatees before a group brunch. The other event gave us the chance to dress up for a nice group dinner in Miami Beach. With the summer coming up, we look forward to many more exciting events, including a Graduation Party for our senior residents and our annual Intern Welcome Party.
We held our annual Wilderness Day at Oleta River State National Park this March and it was a complete success! Our residents were able to work through different patient scenarios to test their ability to handle life-threatening injuries in the wilderness without having the usual resources available in an emergency department. Of course, we made it into a competition again between the classes, and our PGY-2 class won for a second year in a row! Can they repeat it again next year? We’ll see!
Like always, summer is a bittersweet time for us! Just as we are welcoming our newest interns to the Kendall family, we have to say goodbye to our graduating senior residents. We want to congratulate the Class of 2022 as they embark on their next journey, some of which include fellowship positions in sports medicine, simulation and education, ultrasound, and administration. We wish them all the best and will miss them greatly! ■
