Spring 2022: HCA Oak Hill
Hello from Oak Hill! We’ve had another busy winter season and are excited for summer to arrive. We have lots of exciting updates to share. First and foremost, the rebuild of our ED is proceeding on schedule! Phase 1 is complete, and phase 2 is well underway. We’ve already moved into the new building, and the feedback we have received from patients and guests is overwhelmingly positive.
Our entire residency recently attended a simulation day at CAMLS, which was an excellent experience for us all. Our new in-house simulation suite is approaching completion as well. All of our new simulation equipment has been delivered and will be installed in the coming weeks. We are proud to now have dedicated ultrasound machines for simulation, a TEE probe, a Simbionix ultrasound mentor, trauma, OBGYN and pediatric manikins, as well as procedure sims for residents to practice LPs, CVCs and intubations.
We would like to congratulate Drs. Lugo and Johnson, who recently represented our program at the WACEM Case Presentation Competition. There were many interesting and unusual cases presented by our national and international colleagues. We look forward to next year’s competition.
Finally, we would like to welcome the newly matched class of 2025! All of us at Oak Hill are excited for their arrival in the summer. This also means that our current PGY–3 colleagues will be graduating soon. We are thrilled to announce that all six of our seniors will be staying in the state of Florida! Two of the seniors will go on to complete fellowships: Dr. Rondon will be going to the University of Florida to pursue an administration fellowship and Dr. Bencomo will be joining Osceola Regional as an ultrasound fellow. We’re so proud of our entire PGY-3 class; they will be missed dearly. Best of luck to them as they go on to become attendings. ■
